Well with all this talk about the Morels, I just had to go check it out.. Never did that before.

This was what I got in about an hour just for me. My buddy got the other half. We hit pay dirt in two spots I guess. It was fun, but getting home and cleaning that many was not so fun.

Found some bigfoot shrooms in the metro tonight.

I hear ya, most of my go to spots dried up too fast with the lack of rain and continuous wind. Another 3/4 of an inch of rain would have made all the difference. Did find enough to keep me happy though---most of the bigger patches I found were near water. Without any rain in the near future I think the season is pretty much done for me......it goes way too fast.

I still managed to find a few nice ones last night here in SE MN. 16 to be exact, in less than 45 minutes of looking, that's all the time I had by the time I got off work, and drove to the spot before it got too dark.

Last weekend I finally found a few, 2 regular size and 6 jumbo, though not as big as the biggest ones above...

I left the one regular for a day and it grew a little, then watered it and the next day it had grown a fair amount more...then decided to pick it before it got sniped...

It is too dry, hoping to find a few more this weekend though...

Mn Hwy 95, Cambridge to Taylors Falls area...

Oh yeah, I forgot the tick count...I have been staying out of the worst tick areas the last couple years, so I only had about a dozen...of course there is always that one that starts crawling around under your clothes when you're driving in traffic... eek

I've been trying to train my dog to sniff out morels. Each time I find one, I have him sniff it, then I give him one of his favorite treats. He hasn't found one yet, but I'm hoping after a year or two he will figure it out.

Anyways, each time I've come home this year I've picked about 20-30 ticks off him.

Was out in search of the infamous Moerel for the first time ever last weekend around Knife lake, I think it's way to dry, I never even found a shroom of any kind. I did find a old farm dump with a pair of old Desalle engine hoods and fushed a easy 500 woodys and malards on avery small pothole next to the dump. Also, Knife did produce a nice bunch of crappies off the docks and a few eyes with very little effort. HTB

Well too dry even with the few sprinkles...

Did find some Oyster and Sulphur shelves though...

Ate some of the Oyster, first time ever...a little more fibrous than other shrooms, so have to cook slow a little longer...but very good...

Will try the Sulphur today...

      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.

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      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...

      By Wanderer · Posted

      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.
