We haven't made a decision on this yet, and hopefully won't have to. There has only been one ice-out date for Lake Vermilion later than our event. I would be surprised if there were still ice on the Lake for Opener. We will keep monitoring this as we get closer.

The warm weather is a welcome site here in the Northwoods. We are still monitoring the ice-out on Lake Vermilion as many of you are. We are still full steam ahead, and still planning for a full field. There are a few openings available if you haven't sent your entry in. Fortune Bay is filling up fast as well. I would get those rooms reserved if you haven't yet.

Man after looking out at the lake from the casino yesterday I dont see how that ice will be off the lake. Maybe have some big pockets of shallow bays open. I sure hope you guys do get some HOT weather and rain to get that ice out with out any flooding.

One year me and Cliff will have to give you guys a run for your money up there.

Too bad its the smae weekend as my Twin Ports Walleye Association tourney on the St. Louis River. That will be open but some lakes around here still have 34 or more inches.

If it works out we would enjoy having you guys in our event. I understand it is tough with your event the same weekend....... This past weekend helped the melting process to get going. The lake looks much different than it did Friday. Still a ways to go, but the melt is on. The Opener is going to be questionable, but I think we will be fine for our event. A little rain would be a welcome site for sure. I want to wish you the best for your event.

It appears this late Spring is finally giving way. We are on schedule for the event this weekend, and it looks like the remaining ice took a big hit yesterday. The forecast is favorable, and we are kicking it into high gear:) I am receiving calls to see if we still have availability, and currently we do. As of this morning we are at 83 boats. If you are still looking to enter I ask that you bring your completed entry to the rules meeting/dinner Friday evening. We will start checking folks in at 4:30, and dinner/rules meeting will follow at 6pm.

I am pleased to report 2013 was another successful year for the City Auto Glass Walleye Classic. We had 83 boats fish with us. The team of Ribich and Lubovich took home the $10,000 1st place prize. Thanks to all who fished, our sponsors, and volunteers. We couldn't have pulled this off without you!

I look forward to seeing you all in 2014 for the 9th annual City Auto Glass Walleye Classic!

Our Twin Ports Walleye Tourney went well too even though the weather was brutal. Chris Edquist and Chad Clough won with 8 fish measuring a total of 182.50". A 22.8" average is respectable. We finished 5th with 168.25".

I sure wish I could make it to the City Auto Glass Tourney. Maybe you guys could set yours back a week? LOL. I wouldnt want you guys to get iced out ever. wink

      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?

      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.
