Back from a week up-north and it was a fantastic week indeed. Weather was nice, warm and sunny for the most part with a little rain at the end of the week. Water temp was around 75 so swimming was nice. Walleyes were quite active, dad and I targeted em most morning and evenings for about 2 and a half hours. Most trips yeilded around a dozen fish. We'd usually hit about 10 points, humps, and dropoffs and pick fish on half of em. Alot of fish in the 14-16 in range with some in the low 20's. Dad got one 2 footer...

Start off the pictures with a sunrise...

We banged about 8 fish off this point till this guy showed up. He took me around the anchor rope twice but the fire line held up...

A little fly fishing for smallmouths. Most fish are 10-12 inchers but alot of fun on a flyrod and you can catch em till your bored or it gets dark. And the scenery, well...

Incredible buddy, what can I say that camera of yours kick's butt.

Beth on a fly rod that's cool cause I never even tried fly fishing.

Scenery and buttery walleyes, it's gotta be heaven. Nice vacation pic's Jay.

Dangit, my corporate firewall is blocking me from seeing the images because it's imageshack. I can see photobucket and some other hosting sites but they block that one even after trying to copy and paste the image data in the browser crazy.gif I bet the pictures are nice though and it sounds like you had a great trip wink.gif I'll have to look from my home computer to see the pictures.

    • 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
