I am going up to Whitefish the end of March with a few buddies for Perch....anyone been there recently? or can give me some helpful advice would be appreciated! My buddy went last year and said he caught anywhere from 50 to 130 a day.....had to sort of course, but had some decent size...9-12. Thanks for any help

Blake - sorry I can't help you, I have never fished a Whitefish Lake - even the one in MN. What part of Ontario(guessing Ont. as you said heading up to) - Your not speaking of Whitefish Bay on LOTW are you? The guys in the Canada forum have been very helpful when ever I have asked a question there.

Blake,

I am going to assume that you are talking about the Whitefish Chain up here by Pine River, Crosslake area. I am not familiar with the perch bite there. However, I suggest you go to the Brainerd forum below and post your question.

Hey Paul, have fun fishing them trout.

ok guys.....don't have a Canadian map handy(I'm sure I could remedy this since I'm sitting at a computer, but I'm Norwegian and I don't have enough time today) confused.gifgrin.gif, but my buddy said Whitefish Lake is approx. 100 miles west of the Thunder Bay area????He said we need to travel about 50 miles of gravel roads to get there??

I will look it up once I get home and have some free time, but this may tell you what you were asking as far as body of water??? Thanks

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      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.

      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?

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      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.

      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.
