One trout on the power bait worm...several strikes on a spinner - panther martin black - kind of big one maybe 3/8 oz. that I coulnd't get a hook set.

...and we know about people muscling in on a spot... crazy.gif I couldn't cast the spinner anymore with five bobbers in my way.

Not sure actually, maybe just normal rules...normally I don't use live bait, but I've seen people use worms and waxies the like...I think on occassion I've seen people with live minnows. Either they don't care or don't know or something, but usually if you ask them, they'll reply IDK. There's a sign up, No boating or swimming, I think the rules are written down by that sign. I know this is bad, but it's been a while since I read that sign.

so anyway, there's this one snapper around. First time I seen him in the lake. Other people said, "It's the same old snapper...stealing trout on stringer." Then I caught a fairly large trout maybe about 15 inches, but the trout was swimming towards the snapper and I had to really pull hard. That's when I lost the trout and everybody was sort of like, better luck next time...

all u have to do is read the book. It tells u all the rules for fishing a stocked pond.No live bait means no live minnows,everything else such as waxies,nightcrawlers,angleworms,leaches, all are o.k.

i cant believe how many people fish without knowing the rules, it makes me sick. I also am so sick of hearing the idk.

IF YOU DONT KNOW, EITHER FIND OUT OR DONT FISH.

      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.

      New boat question

      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.
