Well I wasn't planning on fishing today but the nice weather convinced me. I fished the south branch of whitewater and it was the first time I have fished that branch. There were a few other people out fishing today but still plenty of room. I ended up catching 5 fish and probably walked a couple of miles. It always seems like a long walk back to the car. Probably because I keep wanting to see what is around the next bend. smile.gif The river looked to be in good shape. It was low enough and relatively clear. The only problem I noticed was all the trash! Everywhere I looked there was garbage on the stream bank. I must have picked up 6 pop cans and plenty of other misc. junk. I could have filled up several garbage bags full but didn't have any bags with. It makes me so mad! The other problem I noticed was the stream bank erosion. People need to keep in mind that the streams banks are very vulnerable right now. Try to stay away from the edge if possilble. Here are a few pics from my outing. The first two are nice sized browns that I caught. And the third pic shows some of the streamside erosion.

That is one nice Brown there. I had the same situation, didn't plan on fishing, but ended up hitting the stream Sat. morning. Must of caught the tail end of the feeding, ended up with 17 for a total. What a fun day! Nothing to brag about, but had a great time!! laugh.gif Had a few nice ones that would have been bragable, but couldn't coax them into a solid hit....The minute that sun burned off the morning fog, is when it seemed to shutdown. I was till able to pull a few out on the way back to the car, but nothing like earlier in the morning. It was just plain great to be out, should have went yesterday too. That is too bad about all that trash, glad to hear your tried picking up some of it. I came back with 3 pop cans and a reel that was busted. Why can't people take their trash out??

      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
