Tom- I sure hope you don't start singing at the Cool Cat gathering coming up, I may have to crank up some good old Megadeath , Metallica, Rush ect.. grin.gif

Otherwise I have the country stuff on so the girls don't wine when they come along for the day.

I like rock and roll and my buddy likes that whiny Country music(understand, I do like much of the country music, just not the....."my dog got hit in the road and my daughter ran away with the biil collector" stuff). Whenever I get sick of his whiny music, I start to sing along....Poof!!! the radio dial turns to rock and roll and we can carry on.. grin.gif

."my dog got hit in the road and my daughter ran away with the bill collector"

I have a fishing partner that has his radio tuned to that type of music, I do well until he gets that late night show that seems to play what you are talking about, my favorite being

"I can't go today, 'cause my outhouse burned down last night" laugh.gif

Country music? Satellite radio stand up is more like it!

Myself, I won't lie, I do like some country....in the form of Ms. S Twane struttin her stuff! Oh yeah! grin.gif

I like rock n roll, soul music from the 50's to the 80's, Etta James, Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Lionel Richie, artists like that.

I like Americana, some country, oldies but goodies, blues, folk, show tunes, some Cajun, a little Dean Martin, Tony Bennet, etc.

There is great music from the different islands, steel drums to the south seas!

Some of the rythmatic cadence types of tribal music from Africa is good to, as is the throbbing of native American dance drums, accompamied by the chanting, like at the pow-wows.

Music from different parts of the world is also inchanting, music of Italy, the mandolins etc.

Irish folk tunes, it's hard to beat "Danny Boy" sung by a good Irish tenor.

There was a French singer by the name of Edith Piaf that sang in the 1940's, homely little thing...for a time she was the girlfriend to the middleweight champion of the world, Marcel Cerdan, I can't understand a word she says, but I can feel something when I listen to some of her music?

There is all kinds of good music, you can't hear it all, all the time, but when you do, you know what is pleasing to the ear and whatever other areas it touches.

You can find something pleasing in a simple rendition of "Taps" done by a good bugler and some of that sax music just about makes your hair stand on end!

Saddening, inspirational, patriotic, happy, romantic, I don't like metal music per sey, but that stuff they play when the fighters enter the ring in competitions like the UFC, that will get your blood pumpin and senses piqued, no doubt, ya just have to let yourself go there!

Alas, for now, I guess I'll just be content to go up and flip on Cities 97, maybe get in on some acoustic cafe?

As far as in the fish house? It's usually listening to the solo artist, whomever that might be sitting over the other holes, doing numbers like, "Winter Whine" or "The Fartsing Sonata " or "No Fish Blues".

i like a little bit of everything. my buddy always seems to turn on the new pop song and sing along. heres a question though, does music really scare away the fish? last trip on mille lacs, the soothing serenading of sebastian bach and skid row brought the perch right in

    • 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
    • I went ahead and watched some of the MLF coverage.  Wheeler didn’t make the cut but the bigger story was the Poche/Avera fallout.   Kinda funny listening to both sides of the story and putting together the scenario, reading between the lines.
