Well I think I may have found the trick to keep the squirrels at bay!  They use to just sit on the feeders and scare all the birds away gorging themselves.

I started out trying 3" inch pipe but after the pipe got a little dirty from them jumping up on it they were able to hold on and climb up.

Put on these 5" inch up and now they just sit down there looking up but not one has even given it a try!

I so wanted to watch those little bas-ters slide back down them but they don't even try anymore! ?  ?

when a cat comes by now which is rare i shoot them but no pellet. lol  does the trick.  years ago we had a huge cat problem when an old house was tore down where they built a new school. Thought it was just a couple. Between a neighbor and me we trapped 21 in three months. All wild. Used a live trap from city and they came and got each cat. Did catch a neighborhood cat in it once but let it go and warned the owner a few houses down. Cant have fluffy out there eating the birdies!  LOL

I don't care!  ?   But, I'll pass that along to the leaf covered flower garden owner and she'll more or less say to tell that smurfy guy to suck eggs!  ?   ?

      Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.

      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.

      New boat question

      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?
