Well, we woke up at the camper on saturday morning w/ about 1/2" of new snow (i forgot snow camo). Water was very murky as the snow was coming down (not quite chocolate milk), snow stopped about noon, and it cleared fast, you could watch the water clear up as you fished the stream throughout the day. first few fish were small browns, then a small brookie. moved on and found the brookie hole, it was a blast. Some buddies caught up with me and shared the hole for a while each cathching a couple more. sent them up stream to the well known money hole that one had never been to, and I went down stream again to check on what last years high water had done (some, but not much difference). I then saw a the water bubbling in a pool, I snuck in low and tight to cover and tossed in. Bam, bam, found the hungry brownie pool and sat and caught a dozen or so. Got a few snags, and ran out of hooks through out the morning. So, I had to head back to camp to get some more tackle, make brook trout breakfast, and get ready for a long afternoon of trout hunting. On the way back I dug up some leeks (wild onions) to cut up and season trout, WOW, toast, eggs, and fire roasted brookie to end an awesome morning. I can't wait until I can get down there again, hopefully it may be nice soon and be able to bring the little girl for a weekend trip! My morning was cold, wet and awesome... how about you???

      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.

      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?

      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.

      I went ahead and watched some of the MLF coverage.  Wheeler didn’t make the cut but the bigger story was the Poche/Avera fallout.   Kinda funny listening to both sides of the story and putting together the scenario, reading between the lines.
