Thanks everyone for all of the help. When we travel it is hammer time to get to where we are going. We try to only stop a few hrs to regenerate. She really wants to get to UPMI since we are only there 2 days a lot of days between now and then but I like to work out details in advance. The trip is th journey as much as the destination. Heading to ID this weekend to look for the 16”+ perch. She will go with me up to ID for the perch but not fish around here or AR anymore.
Thanks again.

I have been going out with a friend 1st of July out of two rivers WI for the last 3 yrs. 4 friends came out last year and we dropped down to port Washington and went out on a charter for 3 days and boated 28-33 mixed bag per trip charter used their limits for us also. More big coho out PW WI of Great time at both places. Will be going out again this July 1st for the week. Entering into the July 4-6 tour. I am taking the friend and his wife from WI up to cascade ID next Sunday thru Thursday to return the favors. We are taking up 4 sleds for the group. Should hit it just right will try to beat the state record caught by a WI guy in 03-21.

Eggs wow by then they might be higher than beer. Thanks b-man for the offer how far north are you of the cities?
Long time between now and then. I have the wife set up vacation ideas and camping spots for the summer then we cancel the ones we cannot make. Guaranteed I will be making the salmon week maybe not the rockhound time. I am taking her up to the Yellowstone River with a jet boat in august for her to look for Montana agates and petrified wood maybe make a trip after sept 1 for her rocks and my sharpies/ Huns

Sorry we will be pulling a 5th wheel so have bed with us. Just looking for a place to pull over and grab a few hrs Of sleep and not be worried about night unwelcome visitors that might end with me in jail wallmart Cracker Barrel etc in a safe community. Thanks again

Come on guys this is a fishing form you that a Beaver that taste like fish now that is the dish I guess that is why I like sushi so much

In the 80s then brother in law from mnts in CO gave us a roast that just said BV Roast being that they were from Buena vista CO didn’t suspect anything. Did notice possibly a slight green tint to fat layers but we roasted it anyways and it was totally enjoyed. Wasn’t until later we found out that it was beaver that he took of his place. I would definitely eat it again. Due to I have some friends that look at the pat on this channel I won’t state the next way to eat “beaver”

I put FASS fuel systems on all of my diesel trucks. There are open fuel filter deletes available. Higher micro filtration better water separation and fuel pressures FASS states 25k I typ hit 15-18k Rotating tires at 5-6k. At 15k I would have to run to 20-25 and just by 2 new ones w/o wt rear tires get most wear from torque.

I am looking for the 126 new CHO anybody have a good source best price that they know of

I don’t think Hamas has ever been accused of being smart or logical thinkers or making decisions based in logic. They choose to continue to fight a war with people who have the ability to make their pagers blow up. Hamas is driven purely on the blind emotion of hate. It will never change. This ceasefire is only temporary it may last weeks, months or years but there will be many more cease fires needed in the years to come.

Not smart?? Last I saw deal was for 33 hostages to 1900 terrerist on the exchange. Fairly good negotiations from the ones who started it.

How is the ht when in stow mode. Does it interfere with being able to see over it when on plane? Not sure what boat you have it mounted on thanks again

Blue Mesa was an annual go to for us when the Kokes were thriving. Seeing your love for the DOW it was they that let the gill lice get introduced thru private hatchery stocking. I guess that gill lice is not a pathogen DOW checks for. Same thing happened to 11 mi
There is fish able ice on devils lake ND and my friend states that they had been catching eyes shallow. The kicker is it is -8 dega with 25 mph wind that is just a walk in the park for those northern boys/girls

We might be neighbors. Also west CO waiting for our lakes to freeze up. Instead of MN or ND try cascade ID for perch great time not soooo cold here is a pic of 3 over 16” 2+#s

Good luck with your taste. Wife and I had it in 2020 the 1st go around we both loss our taste it was light turn off a light switch. I go mine back 4 days later again the light switch. My wife still doesn’t have hers back. Sometimes she thinks that she can sense some taste but still thinks that it is just wishful thinking. She has tried just about every home health remedy herb/oils etc remedies vitamin remedies everything that is the latest and greatest Nothing is working for her

FYI for boaters with I/Os. I left a plug out of an IO bilges kick
In all was pumped out and started worked great for a week trip. Water level did encompass starter i went to use boat a month later and starter sized up from water. Make sure you at least blow out starter and maybe pull to make sure water is all out.

I was drift fishing on the CO river with son and his father in law behind me in the back. The boat got real heavy to row and I looked to my side and we were taking on water the in-law kicked out one of the drain plugs so made a mad dash to the shore thankfully not in a but rapid area. S**t happens hopefully all ends well. Maybe I should add a bilge pump on that boat

I have still not learned to check all the boxes myself when it comes to hooking trailers launching boats etc. even with kids wife and guys who you would think know better. Too many plugs left out straps not unhooked couplers not attached correctly 5th wheel couplers not pinned correctly. I have made enough errors myself learned from school of hard knocks. My insurance and toys/equip. So my responsibility and insurance so I make it a practice to check everything before taking off. And still I screw up but have two 1000 gpm bilge pumps and have had to use them at times

There are multiple recapture systems in methane gas producing ventures ie swine farms beef production I have a partner in a HB that developed a company that designed and implemented systems to do just that. The feds paid tax credits and they got more $ for CH4 put into the pipelines Not sure how the future of that venture with the feds pushing an agenda against carbon fuel for US and trying to eliminate USs export of CNG. Last post I will make on anything related to CC and social realignment directions for this country.

Thank you for this venue for all of the expertise and experiences shared on all boating, fishing, hunting issues people have been very responsive to answering any questions I have had on these subjects

It is designed to “control “ the methane gas pollution “climate control “ mostly directed towards feed lots in CO. What did the US computer icon multi billionaire say we should be eating bugs (possibly not an exact quote )

Thanks for taking this up not being from MM kept me from stating opinions on this however it is heading for CO as it takes up traction in other states

Used extensively on ski in winter camping trips in the 80s&90s don’t have to worry about co and will heat up a pack in tent. We still carry one in emergency kit for mountain travel in CO. Great buy , gas equipment co concerns and alot of wt when pack in hunting seams like we still ended up with 80# packs. Horses or lamas easier but a lot of work taking care of. Those were the days

How old and can you ship

Great for by yourself or with your partner not sure about MN lakes on western reservoirs AR reservoirs On steep ramps with a skeeter 2040 great to get it centered and hooked every time no float back when you pull out trailer took me awhile to pull the trigger never looked back

I bought a garmin lvs32 system from reeds before vid inflation hit. My wife liked
it so much in the xover at ID lakes that she ok’d buying another one for myself to hole hop We both like it better than 10 aquaveiw. You can see fish all over see what direction they are coming in at observe their behavior on lure presentation and you can more than not tell what species +_. The second unit we got is a LVS34 and on the correct settings is cleaner than the 32. Of course I don’t tell my wife that. Reeds had some great ice combo units with the 93 head and good pricing point back then Reeds also gave me a credit on the garmin ice pole from their kit and I purchased the summit fishing pole set ups. I use the unit on the boat as a stand alone unit but it can be set up on the boat during warm weather. Summit fishing pole has a sleeve adapter so the pole can be mounted to a ram ball on the rail in bow or back. Great units both. I have seen the other two manufacturers on boats of buddies but not thru the ice. Garmin is better I my experience. Good luck

My wife has a 19 ST quad exhaust. Great rig. Alittle hard to see out of windows are kind of short. Great sensor locations. Two things to watch for you can reach 80-90 mph without even thinking also all wheel drive great in CO but it takes some gettin use to it started sliding due to bad tires and I instinctively tried to counter steer. Not the correct thing to do. there is selection switch for terrain changes and it helps on power transfer to front and back. I personally don’t like or use the sport mode paddles must be too old to appreciate. Good luck on decision and purchase

I was able to get it from MK tech support last year. I will look in files to get copy if you don’t have any luck w/ MK tech. That motor super sensitive to hitting structure like my ultrex but still use the genius on a river boat where I should buy a Ulterra for it

Thanks again for the info. Does anyone run ciscos. I like the ability to rotate entire tree and individual holders angles. I am trying to find something similar I am not running main planer boards off of them that those are on a mast in front seat pocket

Thanks Randy. My friend had a vertical tree I liked how it left room on the gunnels. I am trying to 10-15#s on a 5# boat but I think I can get it done with the right tools whe we’re in his 2075 Tyee

Thanks for the link b-man. Talk to Rivera and sounds like a good option got it ordered.

He preformed at the school I went to early 80 “DC” by himself. Real edging he was better with S$N. Liked him in the group on his own at least then a lot like the lion in WIzard of OZ. Maybe not enough natural herb smoked to really appreciate his music imho

Not trying to cheap out. “Resort” ok rooms not as “rough” (no criticism intended) as compared to the MN fish camps I remember from 40 yrs ago but not close to even a “leave the light one motel”. Anyways three yrs ago ,“ BC” , 2-bed rooms 65/ Just wondering what the rate increase has been up north. We have a place to go on rainy for free but enjoy the warmer weather in ID and hunting for the 16” perch and only 13 hrs instead of 24+.
Thanks
