Myself, rengel, steve, QFN, NMB365, my dad and joe and I think QFN is bringing someone. I was thinking of making some subs and slicing them up, pasta salad, maybe some bars. With 8 people it's hard to coordinate so I'll just tell everyone to bring something and it will just have to be a surprise i guess grin. Really looking forward to seeing everyone again!

I will bring pasta salad like I have the last couple of years, seemed like everyone liked it. I am up for pizza on Friday night as well. When are people planning to get up there? I will probably get up there some time mid morning on Friday.

since gordie and I wont be able to make it, MJ will be in charge of the event. He will do all the measurments and so on.

Dorkfish has the trophy decoys for 1st, 2nd and 3rd, and Wayne from Fish Toys donated a saw again this year which I will get this to MJ for the event

Have fun, upset I can make it frown

Sound great on the decoys from Dorkfish and Wayne stepping up with a saw again.

Lets all make sure we promote the guys that donate to these events. I just purchased a saw from Wayne last week and can't wait to try it out.

Couple how far out does the group normally go?

Just guessing we won't be driving out.

I am kicking around putting on a roaster full of chili and that would mean dragging the generator out to keep things warm.

It's one thing too cook in the back of a pickup, but when your walking things get interesting.... May need to think of something else

Btw, count me in, should be up there Friday afternoon some time.

Its a healthy walk out but doable. There will be plenty of guys with four wheelers. I'll have a sled to haul houses on and an otter sled if anyone needs. My number is seven 6 thre 7 four four 8 seven 1 eight. Anyone needing a ride out or something hauled feel free to give me a call.

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • 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.
    • 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?
    • 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.
