Maybe 2 inches in Brandon, most is in one drift. The fields still have black dirt showing. The snow mostly has missed us, leaving us with enough to drift. I don't see any large amount ending up here. Right now it is snowing at a rate of maybe an inch every four hours. Brent

New report, i didnt know my dad had shoveled this morning so i didnt add the 3-4 inches we got this morning and with the new snow we have gotten since i last posted i would be guessing we are right around a foot for this storm. On channel 4 news they just said chaska is leading the way with 13.5" of snow.

The ditches are filling up, seems like more snow in town. When I took my spear house off on Monday, I got stuck briefly on the edge of the lake, there was 6-10 inches on the ice. (lake Christina) My kids have been driving the four wheeler all week, not getting stuck, so there's not a lot. We can use a lot more moisture to fill wetlands this spring. I can still see black in the fields adjacent to my house, but less than this morning! The pheasants sure show up in the fields as I have been driving around. Not as many as I had hoped to see. You can send some of your st cloud snow this way!

We never got enough snow out of this last round to plow my driveway. Shovelel about 3 inches off my Grandma's drive this morning and a little around my garage. There were blowers going and a few plows. I would put this last total at around 4 inches, light snow.

Kaz, there are still some eyes in Whiskey, however, you will catch only large ones. Devils is still popular. I am in Alex forum a lot if you are looking for more info, check there. Brent

Hard to tell with all the drifting. I' make a guess based on this, on the 10 o'clock newscast, they said Buffalo had 13.5 inches of snow. It then proceded to snow for another 18 hours to about 5 on Friday. The totals from this storm is about 17-20" with a total of 35+" on the ground with some huge drifts.

      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.
