I want to thank all of you ladies for such a good time. You were all so welcoming and made me feel comfortable. Everyone was so patient with me when it came to my boat. I especially want to give Hope a BIG nod for being so patient and risking her life by going out in my boat with me on Sat. I learned alot about handling my boat(my shoulders still hurt from that pull-start) and bobber fishing. I also learned that I need a bigger tent. Also a big thanks to Teresa for her great cooking and to Char for insisting on doing the corn in the fire-it was nummy!!. I caught my first walleye in a long time (who cares that it was too small to be a keeper)and it was my first time out night fishing. Can't forget to thank Teresa for being so friendly at the Annandale GTG. If she hadn't been, I might not have gone this weekend.

I'm looking forward to my first ice fishing GTG!! (I've never been).

And don't forget!! 930a-430p is the golden hour! (according to drunk guy..)

Ya UdeLakeTom, a few of the girls decided to stay one more night and leave Monday. Wish I could have.

We all had a great time - the weather was AWESOME!!!!

Extremely calm for Tami's yak, and then a nice walleye chop today.

Patti - you need to post some pictures of your boat. It's unusual to find a 1960 boat in that good of condition. It was great meeting you - and look forward to more GTG's.

Thanks Lisa. Hopefully the women will have one but I'm up for co-ed too.

Hope - where would I post the pics?

By the way, regarding my front night light? Dad never bothered to tell me the bulb has been blown. Guess I learned another important thing this weekend - do a pre-check myself before I go out - don't assume that what my dad says is current.

Also, someone said there was somewhere on the forum that I could go for advice on redoing parts of the boat. Where is it?

We have a Boats and Motors forum farther down. Here's the link-Click here.

Also in the Photography forum there's a tutorial on how to post pics on this site- Click here.

At the Women's GTG at Mille Lacs, we talked about maybe going back to Appeldoorn's for ice fishing. I love that idea!

My report, caught 2 snails, a couple of small walleyes, a pretty good sized rock bass,but mainly watched Teresa do all the catching.

I tried very hard to run the boat on Sunday with the heavy chop, but we did get wet. But it was so hot it felt really good. The smores never really did happen, after eating Patti's terrific ribs, hash browns and asian salad I was too stuffed. Plus we fished so hard we were whipped. Osakis was very green and I was so surprised when we caught fish that they were so pale and anemic looking. It was tough for Patti and I to cover much ground, as we don't have big competition boats like Char does!

On a sad note girls, I called my hubby and told him I would be home around 3pm (just had to stop at Gander Mountain and look around again. I got home around that time to find out that after I talked to him he went out in the yard and was riding the ATV and accidentally tipped it over. Fortunately he wasn't pinned under it, and it was still running. A guardian angel just happened to come up the road and saw him and the tipped over ATV and whipped into the driveway and the both of them managed to get the ATV upright. He is pretty badly bruised up, but so far it doesn't look like he did any major damage. He wasn't going very fast, but he did do a real sharp turn. I am going to post pictures later. ( Pictures of the GTG, not his injuries as he has a foot long bruise on the full moon)

I'm so happy your husband wasn't hurt too badly! eek

The jury is still out on this one, he is hurting pretty bad and may have to go to the doctor tomorrow. I don't think anything is broken, but he is having a hard time walking. He does have a hard time normally so this has really put a crimp in his style.

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      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…

      New boat question

      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...

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      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?

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      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.

      The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.

      It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.

      We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
