As we all know, we are into our time of year when everyone is out getting the spear holes cut, and the spears wet while we are looking down that hole all day long.

As a result, I think its time that we start figuring out WHEN/WHERE we are going to hold our [color:"red"] 1st Annual [color:"green"] Get-to-Gator

There is alot of places that we can do it. I would like everyone to take the time to list a few lakes and dates as to when they might be able to hang out. I was thinking of sometime in [color:"red"] February , where we are away from the holidays, and right in the middle of the spearing season.

So lets start to get some ideas out there, and hopefully right after Jan 1, we will have our date set.

Sounds like fun. I guess finding out where the majority of the people are from is going to be one factor. I know there are a couple of us from central mn. One suggestion might be if there is alot of you from the cities and some from cenral mn maybe meet some where in the middle like, Annadale or some where in the that area. I'm from west of st.cloud and have many good lakes but I don't expect all you from the cities to drive that far. I'm just suggesting maybe some where in between. To me it don't matter I'll go anywhere.

i live in cold spring and spearfoots idea of yhe annadale area works for me. make sure its a big enough lake to deal with all those spearholes cut. after we are done the lake could look like swiss cheese.

Hey all,

As we all know, our loving sport of spearing is in full circle, so lets try and plan a Sunday where we can all get out on a bigger lake, and hang out together.

I think that we should go somewhere in the central part of the state, say the st cloud area, annadale or out of the cities, where everyone doesnt have such a far drive.

So lets get some thought rolling on lakes that we might be able to go and hang out for a full day of spearing with all the FMers!!! cool.gifgrin.gif

Had a beauty that was pushing the 20# plus mark that hit my decoy and did a somersault under the corner of the ice and took off!!!! That was a rush again! I live right on hwy10 by Motley if anyone ever gets in my area. Thanks guys

OK I know I am the noob here but I think if someone doesn't step up and make a place and time it won't get done

According to the DNR lake finder info Big Lake (Sherburne County) is clear to 12 Ft

Place: Big Lake (Sherburne County) Big Lake, MN

Date: Feb 2nd, 3rd, 9th, or 10th

I vote for the 3rd but then again I don't care about seeing the superbowl either. I will TiVo it for the commercials though.

My second choice would be the 2nd but I am not sure if B N S can make it on the 2nd.

It would be nice to get the location nailed down at least.

      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.
