This is going to be a great forum. I'm looking forward to revving up the spearing season and sticking a reel on my new bow to try some bowfishing. I'm thinking this winter I will try and get some good spearing pictures so we can introduce more people to this great sport!

I will be looking forward to seeing some pictures from a dark house. Used to spear during my college days and the wife will not let me take my almost 4 yo because he might fall in. She does have a point. But would like to do is sometime again maybe up around the leech lake area.

thanks for getting this up and I will be anticipating some pictures and stories that all relates to spear fishing.

Well the welcome mat is out and it won't be long till we are giving out tips and reports to continue this grand Minnesota tradition! We hope many members who have not speared, read these posts and decide it is indeed something they would like to try. But use caution! Because once you do, you will have another outdoor addiction! grin.gif

Good Luck!

Ken

shackbash-Have you ever been spearing?if not,you gotta try it!Its better than deer hunting.Dont get me wrong I love deer hunting!Where else am I going to get vennie to fry on the wood stove while Im in the fishhouse,But the rush you get when a nice gator slides into the hole is unbeleavable! You can watch it for awhile or take it if you like!Unless of course it comes in like lighting and steals your minnow (1 LB sucker)then of couse all you see is the flash! Then all you can do is sit back and wonder,How big was that fish! grin.gif

      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.
