Bassman-

I plan on leaving about 2pm or so. Unless you're planning on putting on a trick riding demo later in the afternoon. That avataor pic is sweet.

I could set up a temporary webcam at the event (in my truck, looking though the windshield) if anyone who can't make it is interested in peeking in?

Let me know if there is interest.

If there is I will post the details of how to get to the webcam on the site here.

If I can work out the technical difficulties I may have a second web cam set up.

That one will be wireless with pan, tilt, and a microphone.

That would be a good one to set up in someones house.

I am not going to spend a huge amount of time on it, but if it falls into place I will bring it with. I will know more by Sat night.

I wouldnt worry about that one to much. I am getting excited to get out there and see some fish, along with meeting all the people that come. Should be a great time. Remember, if anyone has any questions at all, i can help out with that as well.

I will have an extra house, chair, spear, and decoy at the get to gator.

Anyone who wants to try spearing for their first time can bring their own fishing licence, spearing licence, and heater and they are good to go.

First come first served.

Ebners is open pretty early, from what I remember. It will take about 15-20 minutes to get to the landing, depending on the lights! Sounds like you guys will have a blast! Good luck to all of you! I live in the area, but will be running all over for work, but when I go by, I'll honk!

      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...

      By Wanderer · Posted

      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.
