My mind is made up, I hate Clear Lake. You can tell me where to go, what to use and how to do it aftre you caught about 50 Yellow bass or any fish for that matter and I will not catch a dang thing.

The Lake is down about 1-2 feet.

Saturday we went out in the morning until noon. We fished north of the island and only caught 1 small catfish and 2 yellow bass. Oh yeah I had one walleye that was 12 inches. It was pretty windy and the boaters and jetskis sucked as usual, very unconsiderate and had to drive full speed in between the people fishing mad.gif

Sunday we went out in the morning which it was real calm with just a little wind. Started at the island again then moved to Billy's reef and caught 7 yellow bass and 1 big crappie.

Don't know what it is with that lake but I have no luck. confused.gif

Save the live bait for winter and early spring on this lake. Once water temps. hit 55 degrees crankbaits are the only way to consistantly catch keeper walleyes here. I have to agree with you about the pleasure boater crowds and jet skiers being a pain especially on the weekends.

Fished the lake last night from 4 til 7:30. Caught 3 legal walleyes the largest being 17 1/2 inches. Also caught 2 yellows and a crappie that went 11 1/2 inches. Used a minnow and a plain jig in 8 1/2 feet of water. All the fish went back.

      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…

      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.

      The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.

      It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.

      We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.

      I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
