Hi Bob,

Yes, I will be fishing briefly in the morning. If my day turns out ok I might be able to fish in the afternoon also. Shoot me an e-mail at [email protected] and I will send you my cell phone to see if I can chase smallies in the afternoon. I went out for a quick fix today and caught 3 in about an hour on the spinnerbait. The water was clear and low.

Went out this afternoon with my Dad. We fished from 2:00 until 6:00 and had a great time. Boated a total of 28 smallies and a nice largemouth. I have to admit I cheated by using golden roaches. We caught all but 2 fish anchored from the same spot. The largemouth hit a number 7 rs shadrap. All fish were in the 12-15 inch range. The moss is still giving me problems at some of my favorite fall spots. Water temp was 58 degrees.

Projects all day Saturday but will be back on the water Sunday afternoon. Still looking for Mr. Big.

I fished from 1pm-6:15pm. Ended up with a dozen or so fish the same size as 454`s. 454 you cheated, no bait for another month yet. grin.gifI did get a wally about 31/4lbs. SWEET!!! She hit about 3-3:30 on a finesse minnow. I might make it out tomorrow but don`t know yet.

Bob,

Congrats on the Walleye! That is a great fish. I went out today with a couple of friends and it was not as good as Friday. We did catch a fair number of fish but they were small. The water temp dropped down to 53 degrees.

    • 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.
