7:00 pm at Thorne Bros. They are a great bit of information every time. I highly recommend them. Pat and Matt really know their stuff, and are not affraid to help others catch fish. I missed last weeks seminar because I was at a concert, but I really wish I coulda been there to listen to Jack and Grete.

Matt, even though you weren't able to make it last night, Pat took over and put on a great seminar. I learned a ton last night about late ice pannies. And I think I figured out where the pics on the Thorne HSOforum of Pat and Shauna with the pig crappies came from. Pat gave us one hint, and I went on a mad search.

Late season crappies, gills, and perch is where its at. I can't wait to try out a few promising spots in the next couple weeks here. Bring on the late ice.

Yep, Pat did a great job last night.When he gave the hint polar was referring to,it did make me think of couple of other lakes I have fished on before.Time to revisit those spots.Late winter fishing is the bomb.March can't get here fast enough.

      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?

      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.
