Trap Link

I was wondering that same thing. I just put my new Fish Trap Pro together last night, cant wait to use it this winter. Any info on the link would be great I have a buddy that also has a Pro with the link option so if its not too big of a pain we might hook them up during prime time.

works well for me. easy to zip together and take down, creates a lot of room, and it can get nice and toasty with two heaters going. also, its nice to be able to have your whole portable to yourself yet be able to have a conversation with your fishing buddy without yelling to eachother through the vents.

It is also a neat deal because it makes it possible to spread out a bit to find the fish (and be in the comfort of your shack) and still be able to connect them and fish together when you do find them.

only downfall is I have a Guide, and many people have voyagers or clams. I wish they could make a link that could connect these different models.

Hooking up to another house is a great way to further enjoy ice fishing - cards, etc. I was only able to do it once, because most of my buddies have Otters, etc and I'm the lone Yukon owner. I think the link was about $20?

For $200 though, I'd make SURE that you would be able to use it often enough to make it worth your while.

Last year we had the chance to take advantage of my two friends having trap link houses...

Two guys in the middle of the day on a slow bite = AWESOME

Four Guys in the middle of the day on a slow bite = Cool but has some problems.

Four Guys at prime time, when 2-3 of them are being drunk and loud and you just want to be serious and fish = SUCKS

    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • 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.
    • 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?
    • 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.
    • Sketti...  not out of a jar either!
    • Lol yeah I watched that
