Just got home. Went out for the first time since the gtg today. It was pretty slow, speared two in the low 20's and saw another smaller one. Had a school of gigantic suckers that would swim through once in a while and keep me on my toes. Tried to catch one for a huge decoy but they weren't interested in wax worms...ooh well.

Got out this afternoon saw sunnies ,crappies a bass and a dog fish slid threw the hole but no pike. I do know that somebody did spear a really nice pike today it was 40.750 inches.

HUMMMM, I don't know who that would be whistle

That spear you made me might not be able to hold a fish of that size wink

Got out this morning for a couple of hours saw a dogfish and a sunfish that had been hit by a pike and was hanging with my decoy for a bit then it swam off not long after that I speared a 32 incher and a 24 incher, One for tonight's dinner and one for the pickle pail.

I got out this evening I am set up fairly close to gordie. I got there at about 12:30 and had a 30 inch on the ice about 15 mins into my day. Saw to other small ones and about 60 crappies. Had panfish in my hole all day. I have had some time off work lately and have been spearing everyday and averaging seeing 15 pike a day but today was really slow and only saw the three.

The lake I prefer to spear on is way too dirty right now, so moved the house to a clearer lake. A city of fish houses is already springing up on the new lake. I was set-up about 2:00 and speared until 4:00. The only pike I saw was on the camera before I got set-up. Ended up catching a keeper crappie as I was pulling in my fathead at the end of the day. Hope to be out again at sunrise on Saturday.

I know I will be out someplace, just not sure where. I'm leaning more in the direction of staying close and hitting lake George just south of SF.

It's nice and close and I've never speared it before. So many lakes on the list not enough time.

You should have no problem getting a limit there,however they are all normally under the 30 inch mark.

I saw a large mouth bass and a monster small mouth along with 3 dogfish, two of which I speared, I also saw 4 small pike, and this was worth the wait. No windows to look out of in a spear shack so when you open the door and see this its defiantly a bonus! full-15313-40549-securedownload1(17).jpg

      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.
