Good Morning-Weekend Edition


Recommended Posts

Sitting at the computer with no plans to get out fishing today. Maybe tomorrow if Lake Superior calms down. Birthday was on Thursday and the wife gave me the go ahead to buy myself a nice present. Thought about a new gas grill or a Komando but still undecided. Might just get a used gas kicker  for the boat. Trolling Lake Superior puts a lot of hours on the 60hp Yamaha and I don't want to have to get a new big motor anytime soon. Time to get back to my cup of coffee and see the wife off to work and figure out what to do with my day off.

We have 33 here, Bemidji is reporting 26. Wind has been blowing since last Sunday & is already here this morning. I don't think I will see the inside of a boat today either, maybe tomorrow. The resort nearby is just about full, so there will be a few out there. Time for some coffee, have a good day everyone.

See you when you get back Juneau. Enjoy your summer! 31 degree low here about 6 a.m. Frost impact remains to be seen but so far doesn't appear to be drastic. Had breakfast and getting to be time to move on with the day. Feed and hay procurement top the agenda. Much nicer in the house finishing my coffee. New birds this a.m. include white-crowned sparrows, a catbird and the first rose-breasted grosbeak. Coffee's gone. Best get at it. Stuff won't do itself.

Morning, guys. 30* and sunny with frost. Hopefully the last one until next Fall. Warm up next week, so say the wedder morjits. Near normal temps. 'Mater plants going in the ground tomorrow tomorrow or Tuesday. Need to get them going for another bumper crop. They've been sitting by the window in here since last Thursday. About 8" tall now. On the hunt for some racks of ribs on sale, plan on smoking some CSR's this week if none are on sale. I picked up another bag of apple wood chips the other day to do the CSR's with and forgot to get some apple juice concentrate for the marinade and spray bottle. O well, another store trip, I'll just come home with more goodies. Time for another cuppa joe...have a good day, guys.

Cub has Spare ribs at $2.49 this week. Lot of frost this morning, but the bird baths not frozen over like it was yesterday morning.

The Cub down here is a week behind what you guys have up there...found that out the hard way last year. They wouldn't honor what I had read was on sale; mgr told me they run a week behind in ads. Last time I ever went there. Guy was a jerk. All I wanted was a rack of ribs. :mad:

30 for a low here. Frosty around most of the lawn especially the freshly mowed stuff from yesterday. Was freezing for a longer duration and no breeze. Still, little evidence that it did much to injure anything as it's warming up. Need to get to the off page pasture today to get the fence up and running also check the bluebird houses to see if they're occupied. Hopefully finish mowing lawn and wean some of the ewes. Fresh brats tonite! :)

Low 40's here, with a good breeze early. No frost either morning for us. Supposed to make 55-60 today so might be able to do something outside today. Might even wet a line later. Have a good 1 guys

Morning all.  Ya I need to take the boxes off the flowers we covered the other night.  Looks a lot nicer out today.  Lots of mowing to do.  May get some boat time if I get all of my other stuff done.  My  fingers are crossed.  Should think of something to grill today.  HHmmm...

    • 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.
    • Sketti...  not out of a jar either!
    • Lol yeah I watched that
