Agreed. However, a couple of those look like they are past their prime. When the tops get crumbly (or in this case missing), I usually leave them.

Also, for those who don't cut them in half to clean...I had about a 2 inch centipede some scooting out of a fresh morel this a.m. I would have never found him had I not cut it in half as there were not any signs of bugs/holes on the shroom and it appeared very fresh. I know it won't kill you to eat a bug or two...but for those who prefer to leave bugs for the birds, split them in half to check!

Thanks, The reason they are crumbling is because I ran a few over with the rider. I saved the best one's to try I hope they are as good as people say. I notice they are kind of black compared to some does that mean anything.

Gonefishing - there is a "black morel" which (as I've read) are just as good to eat as the "yellow" and the "gray" morels you see in a lot of pics. As I understand it - the black morels are usually earlier than gray and yellows, which would make sense if you are up in Northern MN. Do a quick "Google". There is a ton of good info out there to help you identify. Good luck.

I had literally hundreds of ants in the ones I picked this weekend. When I cut a big one in half I couldn't believe all the bugs that came out. Found a couple centipedes as well.

I grilled them up today with some drizzled butter and sea salt and they were very good with the steaks!

      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.
