Thanks!

I kinda figured that is the advice I’d receive. For the price of Seastar, I’d just put in cable steering again. I don’t anticipate having the boat for too much longer, and don’t want to put that much coin into an upgrade.

We have a Bullet blender. When seasonings get clumped together, it usually only takes a quick blitz to break it up.

Is there a recommended brand of air bag for a Ram?

Pretty sure this is the transducer you’re gonna want…

I saw the same classified ad online and almost pulled the trigger.

I have a HDS gen 2, HDS gen 1, and a HDI 5 all networked together. the HDI 5 did not have ethernet or NMEA 2000 so I have it connected with a NMEA0183.

I’ve been slow to get rid of the HDI5 because of the three, it is the only one that will take my MN Lakemaster chip.

Wondering if you happened to find the gimbal mount? TIA

I’m in SEMN. (near Rochester)

I’d pay shipping if we can’t work out a time to meet.

Wondering where that bucket holder is from? TIA

We are just east of Longville.

I’m looking to do a trip the first weekend in Dec. I’m still ironing out plans.

Looks like some Sitka lures I have…

Sounds more like your vendor doesn’t know how to use the new system.

I got my wife and I licenses at the local hardware store by myself. I handed over my license from last year, answered all the questions and they gave me my license and a voucher that my wife can take to any license terminal and get her’s printed at her leisure.

We didn’t have to go together, and I didn’t have to provide any SS# etc…

I try to get as many of my started plants as possible from the local HS horticulture club. There usually isn’t a ton of variety, but the plants always come in great shape, they are really cheap, and it supports a good program!

What I’m seeing online is guys using a Motorguide bracket ON TOP OF a Minnkota bracket.

You might be better balanced by having the weight in the center of the boat with batteries closer together.

Stand up and hold two 5 gallon pails of water.

Are you more stable with the pails at your side or with your arms extended.

Not possible with the layout of the boat

For now I’m running a 65 power drive, but will be looking to upgrade to an 80# motorguide soon

Same regs year ’round… 3 trout, 1 can be larger than 16″.

*must have stamp to keep fish

I use a polamar to the swivel, double surgeon loop on the swivel end of the leader, and snell the hook. I do keep a couple dozen hooks pre snelled in the box so I don’t have to tie at night.

This has caught sturgeon to 67″ and flats to 43″ and never had a snell slip.

…oh yeah 65# or 80# Suffix 832

I’d redirect money away from a larger screen, and put it towards better performance.

With as easy as it is to cast a video to your TV, there is really no reason to watch videos on a laptop.

don’t forget to check the bulb…

CC Outdoor Store…checkout their online clearance. I’ve found some decent deals there in the past.

Depending on the age of the motor…

I’d start by “tapping” on the starter with a wrench. The second thing I would do is clean up the shaft on the starter and re-grease it.

Are you catching these in traditional early season spots with the early start?

FYI on the ferns…

Not all ferns are safe to eat. The ones you are after should have a grooved stem and a brown papery husk.

The ones with the white “furry” husks are no bueno…

Much easier to find and more abundant than the shrooms.

They are one of my favorite wild edibles. Favorite uses are using the greens for pesto and then the bulbs and stems either get pickled or are used to make infused oil.

I like the log idea…

Could we do a season limit then???

ie- 250 sunfish per license year

14.3 Total
7.2 Big

I think I’d watch last years episode of IDO where they were fishing the cribs…
