Just wanted to say thanks

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who helped me get started this year, It was a great time, and Im glad my GF (Heidi) who got into spearing also this year, (soon to be wife) will be going out this weekend by herself for one last go, hopefully she'll get one! I wouldnt have been able to have so much fun spearing this year if it werent for this forum and you guys being soo nice answering the ?'s I had. I ended my season at the 2ndGTG and I ended up spearing 5pike biggest was 8lbs, and I got into carving decoys hardcore, which Im grateful for because I feel that I can add more veriety to my deaks by carving them myself and without some info from this forum I wouldnt have been able to do that either.

So thank you to everyone and I cant wait til next year! Take care everyone n thanks for the help and memories!

Those are definitely sweet jigging sticks. What's cooler than the Green Hornet?

I'm glad you had a good year, Laska. I'm looking forward to a southern MN get-2-gator next year.

Congrats on your upcoming wedding.

See I only say she gets the first one cuz it would be her very first northern ever, Angling or spearing, so I guess if she catches one this summer its fair game for me to get the first on the ice haha.

BNS, U thinking of when they will be as far as which one will come first the north or the south?

    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • 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?
