Hi Guys,

I haven't been logged in for some time now, but Early Riser mentioned to me that this thread was going on... I know that he and I are both interested, and I have to beleive that Jeff P (and maybe his Dad) would also be interested.

Now that Stiff is back I guess it is time again to get things rolling on the spearing form! What has everybody else been doing? I have had a notion to build a permanent darkhouse this fall to set out on my local lake for convienience sake on those real windy days. I wonder if hunting and other projects will delay this dream yet another year?

I hope that I am fortunate enough to participate in this event. It is going to be a great opportunity to get together to compare techniques, learn from others and swap some stories. Thanks for working to set something up BnS. I will start looking at my schedule as soon as you propose a few weekend possibilities in early January. I like the idea of mid-winter spearing trip for some variety and adventure.

Hey guys-

Sign me up for the Winni trip! Sounds awesome. We could spear during the day, then try for walleye in the evening. I just checked the closet and the orange "pumpkin" hat is ready to go.

I've been traveling a lot for work, but things should slow down in October and I'll be home (with computer access) and back here pestering you guys later in the fall.

Ps If we get a cabin, save the big bed for me.

Ok, this is what im looking at.

High Banks is closed till Jan, and i have a feeling that everyone is going to be very busy after the 1st of the year, and i think its best that we go up there in Dec, that way its still early, and we dont have a ton of ice.

I was thinking of Dec 12-14.

What does everyone else think?

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • 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?
    • 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.
