I know a few guys have started building new shacks and was wondering what some of your guys other plans for spearing season will be this year.

I want to complete my wheel house for spearing and make some travel plans to a couple of other states this year.

I will be starting school this fall so I'm not sure how that will impact my spearing this year but I hope to get out a few times.

I would also love to get more active in the MDAA and particapate with that but I will have to see again how my schooling will affect this.

Please try and be apart of this sport by joining a group that supports it.

Building a new perm and exploring all my new opportunities. I'm looking forward to capping off a day of spearing with some decent Walleye fishing.

Is it going to be big enough for all of us to sit in it?

I joined MDAA 4 years ago, its be a great time and learned alot more about spearing from the old guy in the club. The best part be seeing the younger guys that have joined and the things that MDAA does to get kids interested in the sport.

You would think that if you took a kid spearing at a young age that they might return the favor when I am to old to cut a hole someday. shockedcool

As long as I'm able if someone can't cut a hole I will do it for them.

With our new chapter we have been tossing around the idea of offering a service too the elderly that want to get out but not able too of setting their houses and moving them around.

I am getting ready for some spear shack mods....

Planing on a new built in bench for the "GordieShack"

Adding a custom built "quick hitch" lift system for the spearshack to be connected to the 4 wheeler.

and replacing the current ski system on my shack with something that fits my trailer better... I am pretty sure I know who will end up with the old skis from the Gordie Shack.

We will see how far I get on the bench building this weekend.

I will post pics.

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      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
