the "only thing left in the liquor cabinet" is usually the kiss of death.  As a graduate of the University of Brown,  brandy never was in my class load.  Sure I had a few Old Fashioneds back in my formative drinking years but brandy never tasted that good to me unless it was buried in bitters, 7up and cherry juice.  I majored in Crown Royal and then did my graduate work in Captain Morgan in a poor attempt to not graduate.  That may seem like the reverse order of a drinking education and I think it was too.

Back in the Crown days I was once left with only Captain Morgan on a Sunday at the cabin.  Really dreadful tasting stuff but I, like you, worked through the taste like a champ.  The next day I smelled like a vanilla Christmas tree style air freshener that many hang in their vehicle.

Smurfy- is your place on Bowstring?  Buddy of mine has a place a smidge east of the public ramp on the north side of the lake.  Lots of NE Mpls boys doing the slip bobber thing up there when they are around.

union secrets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:P

no real secrets!!!!!!! the loins just season with seasonings you like. drink a sip, start grill, take a drink, put on grill, take another drink, flip.....well you get the drift. cook till warm. inside was nice and red.

the eyes, I leave the skin on. spread butter over fillets, take a drink................. add seasonings. I like salt and pepper, lemon pepper, alpine touch, and a little garlic salt. put on grill, takes about 20 minutes. when meat starts flaking put lemon juice over fillets. cook a bit...........enjoy!!!!!!!! you can literally burn that skin and the fish meat is still good.

chow tonite was enchiladas, sorry no pictures. had my mom over and busying B.S. ing!!!!!!!!

first the brandy thing..............I wont drink ANY hard ligour straight. brandy gets mixed with 7up. vodka gets OJ.as well as tequila.

no we are about 12 miles due north of bowstring, and yea from the cty rd 35 access! not sure if you do much cruising when your up there but we are not far from the spring lake store or the old north school. actually gunner55 is just west from that access not real far. I love that country up there

they have to be close to the road that heads to bowstring shores right?

bought the only thing I graduated from was southern comfort university as well as slow gin city!!!!!!!!!:cry::sick::sick:

Yeah,Thunderlund there's smoother blends than Mr. Boston or just about anything that says 5 Star. Mine gets some Coke dilution. I had a early graduation from Rum University at a early age as somebody snuck some straight 151 in on me :sick: & still can't handle rum. Not a big fan of Southern Comfort either & haven't tough slow gin since Jr High. :whistle:  LL we are only about 6-8 miles west of there, not far from the stop sign on co rd 35 going west. The smurf & I are almost neighbors up here :blush:

That is a nice meal there.  I sure miss fresh walleye fillets.  I used to drink nothing but Korbel brandy when I did buy brandy.  Used to have a kork in the that bottle back then.  Beer only now except deer camp.  I bought a bottle of Korbel brandy last Christmas for egg noggs and it was in a plastic type bottle with no kork.  Was OK though.  good luck.

Good whiskey in plastic bottles...that's an absolute sin.  Leave them for bottling up wine. :lol:

Korbel is brandy and not that high of a grade brandy.  Probably made from the pits and stems left over from Red Mountain, or as it is called now, Carlo Rossi. 

Back when I was in California making the world safe for democracy, Red Mountain was $1.99 a gallon.   Although, in constant dollars, Trader Joe "charles shaw" two buck chuck is probably even cheaper.

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • 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.
