I read in the Duluth forum boarasorus wants to do Christmas in Duluth this year. Must be his present to red lake falls!:P he talks going fishing. Must mean the Sarasota club. Don't think the fish have much to worry about!

I've always wondered what the survival rate is on stocking by air this way? I know when I do a belly flop in the water it's like hitting cement! :(

If a chicken and a half can lay an egg and a half in a day and a half - how long would it take a grasshopper with a wooden leg to kick all the seeds out of a pickle?
 

It all depends on if Berni is the Pres and he gives half away to the squirrel! ;)

Hey Reb, was that you walking gingerly into Fareway long about 12:30-1:00 today?  Saw a guy with jeans and white hair walking like he might be having some pain heading into the store...

If you don't have white/light gray hair it wasn't you :)

Cripes, ya think I'm an old fossil? My hair is still blond. I was up there though...was that you with the thick glasses and the Mr. Rogers sweater in the rice/macaroni aisle?

Nope.  And it could have been light blonde.

I was going in to fitness evolution to use the evil machines to destroy my body..oops that's juices line. :D

Then I went there. Got the rest of the stuff for fajita soup. Too early to buy the rotisserie chicken.

Mighta been. Look for the big black shiny truck in the HC spots.....then stake it out. Just don't make any quick moves; I'm always packin' heat. Might wanna hold up a sign that says "Del". :grin:

Is that what the neighbor lady calls it..... Heat!:P:D

that's pathetic.  My uncle Irv told jokes like that.

Kind of cool that Del and Reb had a dual celebrity siting experience yesterday.

no he was real.  I remember he wore those zip up style half cowboy boots and he would do magic tricks.  He wasn't even my uncle he was just one of my dads neighborhood drinking buddies.  I think he even smoked a pipe.  Man...people don't smoke pipes anymore unless the guy is really old or weird.

Didn't think to look for your truck.  Would have been pretty easy.

    • 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
