I can tell that everything is going crazy, because I've got a pile of texts this week from people asking about mushrooms they're finding, and my yard is full of interesting finds.

Hit the woods yesterday with the kids and wife and found a nice mix of edibles... Things are really going to start going now, raspberries will be ready soon, blueberries are already turning, and the chants and hedgehogs should pop shortly!

Let picking season get fired up!

Did stumble across the first lobster of the season. Spotted it with my keen mushroom eye.....after I stepped on it smile Found my first few late last fall and by far one of my favorites. Still trying to dial in on them though.

One thing we make sure to pick regularly from spring on is bonus points for Mom wink

Nice work on the lobster! Mature too! Key is to find large flushings of russulas I suppose. Same areas year after year seem to hold them... I have a buddy in the Metro rubbing it in daily that he's already been finding lobsters, chanterelles, trumpets, etc... Up here I'm just waiting patiently. Only time you'll ever hear me say that living up north stinks... wink

Was out for about an hour up north and checked some summer chicken spots, only to find I was too late. 3 nice big clusters that were all too far gone/white on top, still yellow on underside. Missed them by more than a week I'd say...

On a side note, berries are going nuts. Picked a pile of raspberries over the holiday as well as a pile of blueberries. Yes, a nice early crop. I'm nervous about the blueberry season to be honest, as they are going to pop sporadically it appears, instead of one huge crop at the end of July/beginning of Aug. like usual.

Need rain (not twisters).

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      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.

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      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?

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      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.
