Drove around a little bit today, a lot of the streams are pretty clear despite the recent weather. If things hold should be a little murky come Sunday.

Good luck Wisconsin.

Hit a couple of area streams this morning. Lower stretches are still high and stained, upper stretches still a bit stained. Wind was 30mph and hailing, terrible fishing. I caught a few but didn't fish for long.

Went out with my boy for a few hours today and caught a good mix of close to 30 browns and brookies in about two hours.

Bum ankle has me staying close to bridges but the what I can tell the few places I have been to the water is clear, despite the rainfall.

Streams were in pretty good shape today. One was a bit murky but I think it was a result of cattle. Caught about 30 browns and 1 brookie. All under 14", managed to lose the 4 nicest fish I hooked including one very large fish. Time to get a stiffer rod I think.

Went out yesterday afternoon in Vernon County. Lots of fish swatting baits so had trouble getting good hooksets on many fish. Did manage 16 browns and 2 brookies. Biggest browns were a few in the 14-15 inch range, and biggest brookie was 10-11".

Hey Hook!.....take this in the right spirit, but as an old media guy, the last thing people want to see is a plate of headed, gutted and gilled trout. Hole 'em up purty for the camera out on the stream. Then we don't wanna see 'em again!

Hope you had a good fish fry. Those were gorgeous little browns and you had a good trip.

Take it easy boys- plenty more where those came from. Pretty fishes make good dishes...

Besides- in just a little over a month I'll have two months of bedrest and time to drool over your fishy shots.

Hey now. You're the one who did not post any pics of the finished product...

Trout are really tasty. Not sure there's a problem with keepin 4 smaller ones for some food.

Now next time take the "after" shot so I can drool on my keyboard.

      My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.

      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…

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      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.

      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.
