I had a homeless guy camp next to and harvest much of my favorite spot. We found a few that were beginning to dry out on the fringes.so they will be soup instead of steak.  See how this rain will do if we get any late yellows. image.jpeg

Did find a few dryads saddle to go with them. Never tried it before, but worth shot. 

Ramps are turning yellow. So game over on them until next year.

Matt, you need to stop looking for Morels under those bridges down town then you wouldn't have any campers! :D

I' have big hopes for this rain that is falling right now to give things a little boost.

Been out of town the last few days but spot checked tonight for a little bit when I got back. Southern exposure was pretty bare already it seemed. Checked northern exposure and found these fresh ones under one tree. Guess I know where I'm going tomorrow.

A few fresh ones here and there on northern hillside. Switched over to a southern exposure and wasnt finding many until I ran into a big patch of bigger older yellows. Several were dried, bug eaten, or moldy already but plenty salvageable. Not bad for 2 hours. SW WI

Also put my heart to the test flushing a turkey off a nest.

Well I'm pretty sure my spots are done! Check them out yesterday and not one was found. There were whole areas which always had some but had none this year. The weather played a big part in the early shut down. I didn't even get one wood tick this year where last year I found 5-6 so I know it was colder this year then last once they started. :(

The last hoorah today. The wife and I headed out for a couple hours. I figured and quickly confirmed that most spots were dried up. Headed farther into the valley and looked for North facing corners in the topography that are shaded almost all day. Found plenty, everything was big and some were dried. So that's it for us. SW WI. This was about half the find after dropping off some for the landowner and in-laws.

We looked for 2 hours and found 6 very dry blacks. We found them in the lowest spot of a run-off that was only slightly soft, normally it has a foot of water in it. No rain, no schrooms. Maybe next year. I think we found 10 total this year.

    • 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
