I got my wheel house out in west central MN the other day.  10-12" of ice and zero slush with a very light covering of snow.

Maybe I have to get off the fence and get out there! Seemed like all the reports have been slush and thin spotty ice so far! ?

I had plans to head up to the Bemidji area with a buddy and our oldest kids last weekend but we opted to cancel with the nasty forecast.  Had it just been the 2 of us guys maybe we'd have been dumb enough to give it a shot but not with our two 6 year old kids going on their first overnight fishing trip.  Glad we didn't make the trek.  Given how much ice we had in the metro Saturday morning when we planned to leave I doubt we'd have made it very far anyways. 

 

We did head out to a north metro lake on Wednesday and had 5-6 inches of good ice with another inch or 2 of bad ice on top.  Almost no snow cover on the lake made for a slick walk out which wasn't easy for my 3 year old son but we made a good afternoon out of it chasing flags.  Probably head out again this Sunday to another lake near the house.

Any reports on the ice conditions in the Starbuck and Osaka’s area?  My dad and a group of friends are planning on their yearly spearing trip up there later this week if the ice is safe. 

 

 

I trust you mean Osakis..  they should be good to go, just go with caution!!!

      My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
