Hey guys it's obviously a little early to start talking about next years fishing but I'm going to anyway. I see that the schedule for the FLW 2008 is out and I am going to be fishing in a couple of these events. In the past I have fished in the League series but want to try a few events with some of the big boys. I am going to be fishing as a co-angler and in the past when fishing the League series I would always bring my boat and do some pre-fishing. Being that the FLW stops in places outside of Mn I don't think that I will be towing the boat to some of these events but was wondering how to get hooked up with a boater and do some pre-fishing. I have fished in many tournaments as a boater and a co-angler, and always enjoyed having someone fish with me when pre-fishing. Just wondering if anyone out there will be fishing the FLW, is from MN, and may be looking for someone to pre-fish as well as share cost. Better yet if someone out there is from the cities (or nearby) and would like to travel together (save on gas,bait,and lodging) please send me an email. Thanks and enjoy the remainder of this year, and hold tight for next!!

I'd say your best bet is to hook up with a boater for the preferred registration. When you establish the relationship for registration, the boater with whom you sign-up more often than not extends pre-fishing invitations.

There are several other websites that have co-boater match-making threads running. The most prominent is WC.

    • Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today
    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • 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?
