John, I’m glad everyone made it and hope everyone has a full recovery.

Sorry for the double post. I got timed out on my first attempt.
Tried a second time and received a hosting error. Restarted my computer only to see a double post.

I’ll have to watch the one from today. You are right about him making it look easy.

if you are into YouTube watch Tom Boley as he just put out a video in the last couple of days of him pulling spinners.
There is also a video from 9-10 days ago where he was drop shotting and catching Walleye.
Good Luck

Sorry for your loss. It’s tough to say goodbye to your family member, friend and companion.

I wouldn’t hesitate to buy the Competitor tiller.
My boat is a ’94 competitor 170 Tiller with a 60 h.p.4S Yamaha. It is 16’4″ long, so it is similar to your future boat, however mine has a max h.p.rating of 60.
I fish a lot of the big lakes in Minnesota like Mille Lacs, Leech, and Winnie and it handles all of those very well.
As far a trolling, mine with troll down to about 2 mph depending on conditions.
Love my boat.
Ron.

You could pose that question in the Garmnin Sonar/GPS section on bbcboards.net. They have some very knowledgeable Garmin people there.

Congrats and enjoy. It’s like being on a long vacation.

I agree, beautiful fish.

RIP Randy. My thoughts and prayers got out to his family and many friends.

RIP Ron. You were an innovator and a great teacher.

Steve, stay strong and be positive. Being upbeat and having a strong will wins the day.

Tom, I’ve used the Jawz traps on mice on a few occasions and like you, I am a big fan of them.

Great looking boat Dave, enjoy.

I believe the H.P.on any of the manufacturers that have high output motors
cab be as much as 9% more H.P. than what is stated.

The newer Lakemaster chips do not work in Garmin units, as the newer chips are made for Humminbird.
I however have a chip I bought back in ’08 that was a the time compatible with Garmins hand held units. Two years ago I needed a new hand help unit, and was able to buy new one that the Chip works in.

No.
As others have stated, if you don’t like a post don’t read it.
Also agree with Randy about a Sub folder.

I also have a 16 foot tin boat with a roller trailer.
The launch access plays a big part in how deep you back the trailer in.
Normally I back in so the back of my trailer fenders are in the water. I usually don’t go deeper as this way I can push my boat off the trailer. If there is dock access that makes things a lot easier as you can back your trailer in just as deep when pulling out the boat. I’m not big into power loading as I like to winch my boat up by hand.

Len, that looks beautiful. Looks like it was made for a movie.

Sounds like a great hunt, with a couple very nice birds.

That looks and sounds good.
I just finished a batch that I made a few days ago. It’s great comfort food

I owned two Olds 442’s back in the day. My first was a used ’66 442, with a 400 c.i. and 2 speed automatic transmission.
My second was a brand ’70 with a 455 c.i., 4 speed manual, along with functioning hood scoops. It was forset green in color, with the scoops being white. I used to take it to the track and won my share of trophies running pure stock. It also served me well when I did a little street racing.
Unfortunately, I never had pics taken of the car. Pics would certainly be nice to have today.

Yep, it’s 20.

I had never fished much for crappies until 11-12 years ago. A good friend invited me to go ice fishing and the rest is history as they say.
About a year later I started fishing them open water with a couple of friends, and now we take a few day trips each year.
Along the way we have refined our techniques and patterns thanks to fishing shows and youtube videos.
So, I want to thank all my friends that I have fished with. I know we have gained knowledge from each other for both Crappie and Walleye.

Hoping your daughter has a full recovery.

FryDog, I wish your wife and son a full recovery.
I know a couple that have had/have lymes, and know it is a tough recovery.
One of my best friends had Lymes and never fully recovered.

When I was a kid we had a large wildlife area across the street from us.
One day when I was back there I found a bunch of Elderberry bushes that had ripe berrys on them. I told mom about them and she said if I picked them she would make a pie out of them.
We’ll, to this day I still think that was the best pie I ever had.

Blueberry ? Looks great Dave.

I’m heading to Lake of the Woods tomorrow. So I’ll get my last ice fishing
trip in for the season.
The friend that I am going with called and wanted to know if we were still going. You can bet I told him that we were still on.

Tom, I have another song and band for you as well. The End, by the Doors.
