Why does a person go away from spearing for so long and then return to remember how much it was. I did the same thing and regret every year that I

didn't spear. Man do I got days on the ice to make up. You do the same Boar.

Thanks guys, no doubt arch, Hawk, I think is alot of cases as man starts to raise a family, he has to pick a choose, before kids i did most everything, upland, waterfowl, archery, rifle, ice, open water, spearing an of course partying, family came along an had to give some things up in order to maintain a balance an stay married, as the kids grew then the choosen few that i got really good at, the kids started to come along, an as they age i start to bring in a few of those that i let go for so long. Its all good, an im certainly getting back into spearing. Cant wait. Later baor

Boar, I have the opposite situation. I am 53 this year and spearing for the first time. I am having a blast and wonder at all those seasons I have missed growing up around Willmar. Well I guess I still have a lot of good years ahead of me but can't help but wonder about the lost opportunity. So if you get the chance and know someone who might be interested in this awesome sport try to take them out. Who knows, they might become addicted like I have!

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
