Hello Everyone. It's been a few years since I have even posted anything on this site but I have been viewing plenty. I am one of the guys who has been living vicariously through the rest of you and cannot thank you enough for all the cool pics. While I love seeing all the pigs I really enjoy some of the great photography.

Anyways, while I haven't made it out much in the past 3 years or so, my kids are now old enough and patient enough to tag along with me so I can assure you I will be out on the ice and the open water much more in the coming years.

That being said, here are a few pics from my most recent outing. Fishing was rather slow and primarily consisted of a 45 minute window prior to dark and that was it. However, on both evenings that 45 minute window was all that was needed to have an awesome time battling some Bull gills. All in all I caught 30-40 gills between both evenings and the vast majority of them were 9"-10" with the smallest coming in at 8". I kept 9 fish in the 8"-8.5" range and let all fish greater than 9" go.

Hope you enjoy the pics and I hope to be posting more on here soon. Best of luck to everyone and keep the pics coming.

Thanks guys. Nice to be back.

Yes, the Sunnies in this lake are really nice looking fish. In years past they would be pretty heavily covered in parasites but it seems less prevalent this year. I have never caught as many in the 9-10 range either so things are really looking up. Hopefully I'll be posting pics of a real good one at some point this season.

Best of luck.

    • 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.
    • 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. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
