That’s the beauty of a place like this. Almost as good as asking advice at the bar, maybe even better.

She’s an apprentice in the trades so it should pay off here in the next couple
Of years. Who knows, maybe I’ll be a stay at home dog dad. Imagine the possibilities!

When the calendar turns to April, the market will heat back up from the little it has cooled off. Inflation is still running and people are still spending crazy amounts of money on things despite price increases.

Thanks for the idea of waiting for the market to heat back up. Judging by the weather, I don’t imagine anybody is beginning to think about open water season anytime soon.

That’s one of the reasons we need the money. She’s laid off for who knows how long and we had put money down on the wedding. I’m starting to notice a pattern of poor financial decisions here. Hahaha.

She does cruise.the 200 with a stainless prop is a fun time. Last summer there was a rare day on Lake Superior when it was like glass. I don’t know that I ever care to try that again hahaha.

The big motor doesn’t get used much with the kicker I troll salmon and trout out of Duluth more than anything. Original owner didn’t take the best care of it. There’s a little dock rash and maybe some gravel chips. Nothing too terrible.

She hasn’t given me the “it’s me or the boat, you decide” ultimatum yet. Quite the opposite. She once said “we should buy a bigger boat” and then I went and bought a ring.

Check this video out. It’s geared towards Great Lakes trolling but a lot of the same things apply. A lot really depends on your budget too. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G7d2py_wUVs The okuma convectors are really nice reels. The reel is more important than the rods in my opinion.

Can we talk about Ryan Carter’s hair on the pre-game? What a beaut

I’ve got a lighter and some Carmex in just about every pocket I have. Fishing outside makes my lips chapped. Or I’m dehydrated from all the beer and coffee

Marine general in Duluth has them on clearance right now I believe.

Ever used any of the Pflueger presidents? Are the comparable?

In Duluth.

Guy looks rough for being 51

What do people usually fish with from the wall?

Thanks for the heads up, I will give him a call today!

We are camping on Camelback island. Might try and find a lodge for a night though

Mythical minnow? Are they hard to come by up there?

How would a guy target these crappies? Any walleye tips?

If you are looking for something closer to PVC but don’t want the weight, Patagonia has a bib and jacket set in there workwear line that is supposed to be just as good as PVC but half the weight.

is it basically draining the battery due to the length and gauge of the cables

It’s not draining your battery, it is just restricting the flow of electrons through the fine gauge wire enough so there is a voltage drop at the Helix connector end.
However, your description of the unit getting hot and working again after cooling off in the shade suggests a different problem. Heat from sunlight should have no effect on the unit. Measure battery voltage before you start the unit and after it shuts down.
Also, the voltage readings in Bird units are often inaccurate. Get a digital multimeter so you know what your battery is reading at the posts and at the Helix connector. That will get you started on troubleshooting.

You’re suggesting to measure the battery voltage at the TERMINALS before and after shut down?

So to understand, a larger gauge wire would increase voltage above the minimum 10.8?

I have got the stock wires and connections. The dealer installed it for me. I will look into trimming the wires, and running new wires. I’m not too fimiliar with wiring, is it basically draining the battery due to the length and gauge of the cables?
Thanks a bunch!
