New toy's from Santa

Recommended Posts

I must of been very good this year. I got a Quickfish III to replace my Clam Summit Thermal and a Fish's Sporting Toy's Ice Saw. Can't wait for Saturday. I bought a Dillo spear By Moening and A Decoy from his brother for my Birthday at the Ice show. So far all it has attracted is a 20lb+ Tiger. Maybe Sat I will try a different lake with more Pike and break everything in.

Yes, I plan to throw some of those foam mats that link together on the ice like i did in the clam. The quickfish is way darker than the insulated clam. The clam has no black interior and thousands of pinholes where the insulating layer is heat welded to outer layer each one is a pin of light. I may make the floor Laska shared with the group but the mats are more portable as I walk to most of my spots. I don't like driving 7.3 Super Duty on a lake. I will use my 10 inch power auger and saw between although I may just drill one hole and saw the first time to see how it work with a foot of ice.

Well The Quickfish is a huge improvement over the Clam Thermal. I am very glad I got it. I am still kicking myself for not trying a saw years ago. People Fish's saw is a must have item it is as important as your house or spear. My next acquisition will be to scrounge up some tongs. Unfortunately the pike did not cooperate. I saw 2 little guys and some monster dogfish. They really like the spinner on the Duey's decoy they kept pushing it around with a closed mouth. I highly recommend the Quickfish 3 for a portable and Fish's Ice saw.

    • 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
