Don't know for sure but they do allow salted minnows on trout lakes I believe. Where do you find preserved night crawlers anyway?

Man that is one chunky rainbow! Did you release it?

I just picked some up at fleetfarm hope they work. About the rainbow yes i let it go it was during catch and release season but that dont matter i would of let it go anyway. If im gonna eat a trout its gonna be a brown or brookie. Rainbows just dont taste that good to me.

The special regulations that exist on some trout streams, do not say "no live bait". The regulations are written to say "artificial lures and flys only" so that would mean preserved baits are not allowed.

Makes sense. The trout have a harder time swallowing a lure...and the poets don't have to walk around the bank fisherman grin

You think trout have a harder time swallowing a small spinner or fly than a big nightcrawler? I dont believe that. And who are the "poets"

I just think its funny... One guy wearing over $300 in clothing and using another $300 in gear walking the stream in (poetry mode). Another guy is sitting next to his y-stick drinking a beer and dunking worms (porno mode). Call it trout fisherman extremes and each one has good advise to the other on how exactly trout should be caught and handled....almost as finicky as the muskie guys. My personal idea of the best version of porno mode is slipping the net under ther fat belly of a mudeye at 12:30 am on a muggy night down in the bottoms.

I myself prefer artificial bait for trout... a single (not necessarily barbless) hook and a jig. Call it the gray area between poetry and porno. I do occasionally put on a shad rap but those trebles are tuff on trout if your just out for the fun of it. If you want to eat a few trout, the best way to get some fast is using worms...you will gut hook a few but thats ok, your eating them. A lot of old timers even use cut bait for trout.

      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.
