Big Lake has good water clairity and has some great weed lines for gators. I used to live in Big Lake only a block from the water and spearing can be awsome.

Have spear will travel. should be a really good time see ya there.

I will bring a sign with the map of the lake and update it as to where we are going to be the morning of the get to gator. I will post the sign in a snow bank in the parking lot for any late comers.

I will also bring my fish fryer and about 10lbs of catfish nuggets from the walmart to share with everyone.

If others wana bring something to share for lunch they can.

I will be there between 7~7:30AM

i have it all figured out. Now we just need someone to go there a few days before and find out if we are able to all drive on the ice. Im sure that we will be able to, but if not, we will have to drive wheelers out.

Also, i know that we wrote times down as to when we were going to be there. But like i said, you can come and go when you want, of course. I just thought it would be great to get people involed together, show off some tricks, and let new people learn more about the sport.

So with that said, im very excited about the get to gator. We should have a great time together. Best off, we are able to put faces to the names we all know here at FM.

IF anyone has any questions or concurns, please let me know. Until then, post here so we can kinda get a count to how many people we are going to have come and hang out.

    • 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?
    • 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.
