Silver/Blue and Vampire!

I figgered out the trolling motor. The wire going into the fuse got hot and pulled away from the contacts, so when I examined the fuse it looked OK!
So now I bought a 40 amp marine circuit breaker made for trolling motors and made to replace the fuse!
So now it works!
Thanx all for your input!

I have a Legend Elite 6’6″ med-lite and I use it for both rigging and jigging. I’ll tell you what, i’ve never felt a fathead wiggle like I have with this rod.
I would’nt exchange it until you fish with it a few times and see how sensitive the rod is first!
Just be carefull when you have a 3/4 ounce slip sinker for rigging as the weight will just about pull the rod over the side of the boat and i’m not kidding! The rod is super light. I love mine!

Don Hanson, returned your E-mail!

Osakis!

I use sliding bobbers for pike fishing.
I will fish in the 15′ deep out from a weed bed that drops down to 60-70′.
And usally put on 9-10″ sucker minnows that attracts huge northerns that only bite on small panfish, perch, and tulibees. One pike around ten pounds I caught had two 8″ tulibees in it’s stomach. The pike hang in this area because of the available forage and sliding bobbers are the only way to go as larger pike don’t like warm water and will stay in the deeper 15’+ thats in there comfort zone.
Fun part about this, is the spot is located next to a popular resort and on a hot sunny day the murmaids are out sunning themselves, so you throw your sliding bobber out, put the rod in a rod holder and sit back, and watch your bobber and the murmaids and refresh yourself with a cold one!

C’mon you closet tournament anglers. Come out, come out, I know your out there! Afraid to talk? Let out any secrets?
Would like to meet you’ze guyz at the meeting friday evening before the tournament and say Hi!

Talked to the people at Minn Kota and they told me I had to have a two-bank charger no matter if it was in parralell or in series!

Do you need a two bank on board charger for two 12v batteries in parralell?
Could you get by with a one bank beeing both batteries are tied together + to +, and – to -?

Yup, no need to speed!
Suprizing there are’nt more night collisions.
Almost had my boat ran into by another boat while I was anchored leagally on Lake Osakis during dark. The A-whole was going about 50mph in one of those sparkly bass rockets. I had my nephew and his 5 year old son in the boat at that time. And i’m sure the 5 year old heard words he never heard before come out of my mouth as I was screaming at the top of my voice. If my son was with at the time with his hand gun, they would gotton our attention real quick with a couple of warning shots over there boat.

Why would they give people a lesson about Zebra Mussels when there coming out of Mille Lacs?
You would think they would be doing that on the Mississippi!
Are there Zebra Mussels in Mille Lacs?

Just purchased a LMS-330C and love it after using it on the Mississippi and Lake Osakis.
I also purchased the Navionics 3′ contour lake maps chip that you install in the unit and that baby is on the money!
The graph/gps screen is as accurate as any map i’ve ever seen.
The color really tells you the difference between rocks on the bottom and walleyes on the bottom as the walleyes will have a red hue in between the top outline of the mark and the bottom, where as a rock is solid blue! And we had a undewater camera to verify what we were looking at.

Opening weekend was so-so!
Lots of pike, 2-3lb.
Only three walleyes caught in my boat.
A 20″, 17″, and a 15 1/2″.
Water temp was 52 degrees and clear water which made for an evening bite and thats when we caught them.
Memorial weekend they will be bighting better for sure!

I also got a LMS-330C and love it!
Put in the Navionics 3′ contour maps and man its right on the money as to accuracy for location and actual depth.
After going back to the store and looking at the grey-scale locators seeing how hard it is to see the screen, there is no comparison, the color screen ROCKS!
