well, this woods walking mushroom finding new hobby of mine has been fun. Spent the last couple days searching for morel, but did not fare to well.. HOWEVER, did well finding Oysters. Yummy.

Made a killer stir fry with shrimp, asparagus, oyster mushrooms.. Was way pumped.. so, while I struck out with Morel, found maybe 1.5 lbs of oysters.

I found one good clump on a dead fallen Popple.. the mother load I got on were where some straight line winds look like they hit. Pretty positive the standing stumps were Basswood... These were the first oysters I have found. Been reading all winter looking at what may be similar that could hurt me.. and it looks like a pretty safe find. Oysters seem to be able to grow on all dying hardwood. The only real similar bad for you shroom is a Jack-o-lantern.. which really doesnt look that similar it has more toothed gills... From the sounds of it, the Oyster grows pretty much all our non-snow season. They were fantastic.

So, search for dead wood.. they are actually carnivores.. and eat the dying wood.. little to no stem, quite white in color. The ones I found look exactly like the above picts.

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
