Thanks Mike. Yes, same connection minus one battery. Mine is 24V with a 40a breaker.

Probably 4 gauge is what comes off the shelf.

Most 36V trolling motors don't draw more that 45 amps. 50 is plenty, 60 is too much. Anything else?

I wouldn't be messing with connectors, splicing tools, crimping tools, buying bulk wire and cutting it to size etc. Go to CTC or any other 'fast food' auto place (the same cables will cost you twice as much in a boat shop) and buy yourself TWO of these: Once home, connect your 3 batteries this way: You'll also need a 50 amp fuse OR breaker on your red wire between the trolling motor and the battery it is connected to. It's always better to connect that closer to the battery. A breaker is more expensive but is worry free. A fuse works just as well, and cheaper but you'll need to have a spare fuse or two on hand in case. It's painless and shouldn't take you more than 5 minutes. Good luck.

But it turned out to be a night crawler.

And just in case anyone missed that, let me repeat it. Wayne's bird is clean underneath.

You're wasting a good car Bud. I'm sure you'll have a blast doing it though.

Thanks for the heads up anyway, Darsky. Most of us appreciate it.

Good that you got out but the odds of getting a pike in the Kawarthas are pretty slim you know....

I wouldn't be going on any ice anywhere in Southern Ontario 'til next season.

Yes $14.95 instead of $24.95 but the CTC here never carries bigger than 20lb test.

Good for you, Larry. Great pic too!

I'm no HVAC guy but I suspect your house is sealed tight and with no proper air circulation, you'll always have condensation in the windows.

Beauties Greg. Y'know Greg, watch it again but this time imagine a gardenia in your lapel. Don Cherry right?

I think most Rapala rod retailers will have them. For the time being, I imagine they're stockpiling in China.

Oh that's right! That's tonight's game! Hope they're really enjoying it.

Jon, you broke a foot off a TWO PIECE rod? Say it ain't so!

With backup power?

I don't like 2 piece rods either. I have no doubt that the newer multi piece rods don't have the flex problems that the older ones did with the metal ferules. I understand that they're indispensable for people who are hiking into back lakes or even for folks using small vehicles or public transit. Then there are the LONG rods like fly and float rods which are just too long to transport or even store. There are also some manufacturers for whom most of if not all of their rod sales go through the post or shipping companies. The cost to ship a one piece rod is horrendous. There is certainly a difference in sensitivity but I couldn't prove that to you. The only 2 piece rod I have left is an 8'6" trolling rod where rod sensitivity isn't an issue.

My first thought was that it was a grub the same as you'd find in perch but the largest I've ever seen were a tenth of the size of the one pictured above.

Yes, it's my quiet time. At this time of the year I'm usually catching up on reading or working on baits. The noisier stuff can start around 5 when J gets up.

In the meat or stomach contents?

Well at 4:30 this morning it was -16, I have no live bait at the house and I still have a 16 hour work day to do. I'll consider it when it's warm out, I have bait and it's a day off.

OK Thanks. I was just curious. Thought maybe with line wrapped around it like that, it might have had a bait in its gullet also.

Beauty fish. Assuming you released the walleye, were you able to remove the line from her?
