Hi All

happy New Year

I was up at the cabin ( Grand Marais ) for and extended time with no internet grin.gif ( well if I went into town I could have logged on - but tongue.gif )Anyway - Hit a few lakes, very very slow fishing and the ice was aweful. Pretty consistent at - 2 in. of crust, 8 - 10 of slush then 6 -8 in of just ok ice. I actually broke through with the wheeler a couple of times by shore.

Once out to the middle things where a bit better. Not as much slush and better ice.

I was out alone and it got a bit scary so didn't venture around much.

Soooo - how was everyones New year! I'll get caught up on reading post over lunch!!!!

Welcome Back Tami! Not much going on around here! Not very good fishing reports anywhere! We were supposed to meet glenn57 and clan at Riley's on New Year's Eve but unexpected friends showed up at the cabin and we were kinda stuck! We got home yesterday and back at work today frown.gif. I had a crazy dream last night that we got animated smiley's when the forum was upgraded and then I went really crazy around here-ok oversharing-I'll stop!! crazy.giftongue.gifgrin.gif

Hope the ice is ok for the Bash at the end of the month!

      My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
