I just can't believe it. I spent all weekend out on Spirit Lake and I couldn't get one fish out of the hole...

I drilled a ton of holes and did alot of searching. Just can't do it right I guess. Maybe need to quit this thing and find something that I can actually do right...

Had good luck on my favorite farm pond. Caught a dozen or so and kept 6 slab gills in a little less than 2 hours.

Hang in there honda...sometimes it's one little thing. For example, on Sunday the gills wanted the wax worm hooked horizontally, not threaded. Don't ask me why, but this is what they would bite. Took me awhile to figure this out, but once I did, it seemed simple. Problem is, next time it will be something different. Good luck.

Hey Chris, May I ask which part of Okoboji did you catch fish on? Was it where we found you several weeks ago? I was thinking about trying that area this weekend. I am glad that I have the atv and shack rigged up to use out on the lake...

I went out Sunday to a farm pond thinking ya know the ice is going to be gone soon and I'm getting low on fish again. This pond was good early ice then went kinda flat. Well I was really catching fish and was going to quit earlier but hadn't been their all that long and in 90 minutes caught 45 bluegills and threw back 13. The owner wants me to take them out to keep the population healthier and it was just to much fun to quit. This weekend I'll be putting the ice gear up and working on the boat and open water gear as its sloppy out there and not risk it. Everyone be careful.

    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • 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!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • 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…
    • 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.
