Moosebunk

For a day... max out about 3 hours. Several regular fisheries I hit each year are up to that, none are really beyond.

A start eh Lew!?!??

You and Bill have a great time "AGAIN" ya lucky bazzterds.

Bass Overlord could be your new handle Mike.

That's gnarly. Like the slow mo Mike.

It's like fall smallie action in August. Nice chunkers.

Very nice TJ. Lotta elbow grease bud but the camp looks super cozy again... especially with the hole in the roof sealed up.

LOVED IT!!! Terrova Power. Don't know why I didn't do this in the beginning. Nothing fancy this newer set-up. With a couple L-brackets just rigged up a little platform on a Lund bracket so I could run the old Humminbird 585 on the bow. No drilling, wires stowed away, and it can be disconnected and moved to the back where I can use it as the GPS beside the HDS7 if wanting to be all fancy like the Pros. FYI... DID NOT switch out the 8 guage wire running to the batteries at the back of the boat. Online and in question was the need for 6 AWG for this motor. Thought I might have to, but the Minnkota Terrova owners manual noted it is not necessary. 8 AWG is fine for the 80# with less than 40 feet of wire. Ran it today full out for about 4-5 minutes into a little wind and did not find the wire by the batteries and breaker warmed as all. Gotta be careful with this motor on my smaller boat though, if it's turned right or left and set to speed 10, it'll throw people out. lol.

If it's the only places they are in the world, then that's likely where the world record is gonna be caught. Gonna vote GBay or the Larry on this one. Only because of what I've read, heard and seen in the few years poking around these parts.

Ahhhh Mox... in the end I got the answers bud. Was a little muddy myself with what's best to do for charging. With what I've got at home to charge with now, each 12V will be separately charged, I'll leave the two connected and see what happens first couple times around, and I'll unplug the motor because I'm used to doing that anyways. Gotta thank the lot of OFC'ers for speaking up and explaining what they know and do for themselves. All good doods!!!

That is great Brian. Nicely done... but it can't all have been from just the belly boat???

Thanks Rick. Enjoyed testing my buddy Len's out a couple times in the past and so picked one up in April. Going to appreciate it methinks. It's overdue Sink. The 55PD has been put through the ringer for nearly 5 years and is still going fine but, the extra power is actually needed sometimes, and the features with this will go a long to help me out with certain species fished. Keeping the PD for now, it'll likely go on whatever smaller boat replaces the WarCanoe. Hear ya bud. Flippin' about might help loosen the belt too. lol. Haven't been in the tube yet this year tho Brian. Usually do at least a little spring troutin' and fall back lake bassin' from the Outcast.

Cool. That's what I'll do for now. With two chargers kicking around too, if it's gotta get done quick it will.

Same here man! The easier it breaks actually. Buy "mostly" mid-range priced gear. Depends on it's annual usage or it's purpose. LeBaron's "actually" and SAIL "especially" have treated me well on returns of late.

Ballllllls... and anchor... and sonar... and remote... and those really big gar shouldn't get away. Remembered at home here I have a second one bank 12V charger same as the other. Should help speed the process if need be.

Always.

It is a one bank Terry. Two sorta different answers here, but regardless for now I'll be charging each separately by the sounds of it. Easy to get at these batteries. Will likely go with an onboard eventually, for now just want to get out there and play. 55PD up to 80Terrova should be fun on the Rebel. Thanks doods.

Upgraded the trolling motor. Running two deep cycle 12 volts in series for 24 volts. Everything working mint, batteries separately charge to 13.1 equally and are about the same age and use. I haven't run a 24V set-up before. I have an Eliminator Intelligent 12V Charger so when needing to charge these batteries do I disconnect all, some, or no connections, and charge each battery alone or in some other way? Guessing the 12V's will need to be charged separately?

When joined online was living in "Moose" Factory, working in Moosonee, and fishing the "Moose" River. Friends growing up and today, still call me "Bunk."

Get a fall flock of sandhills flying over and all that honking will have ya diving for cover. As always Joey, enjoy your photos.

Davey... that's about what I tend to do as well. Also, mainline to dipsy I started tying a 12-inch 150lb floro muskie leader between the two. One time in the first years of using a dipsy I went to pop the release and somehow the 50lb braid got cut off by the dipsy. Never happened again with the leader, and doesn't seem affect fish catching.

Great recap Ryan. You left off from where I remembered... that pink snowflake tuque, the iced brown trout and the kiddies all out fishing with ya. Turned up the family time even more notches through the spring we see. Solid stuff!

As always Aaron, some crisp pics and a great write up. The mouth waters with the thought of halibut... but add some boatside BBQ, some cheerleaders and salmon too and you certainly do have heaven. Great opportunities for you dood! Enjoy.

That's some gnarly good lake ski fishing times right there Josh. Well done on that mile of muskies over the gunnel.

Does kinda suck! Tend to break everything eventually... doesn't matter the make. Last two Shimano rods I've bought (a Crucial and Clarus) had issues from the get-go though... alot of crumbling cork immediately once the plastic wrap came off of the Clarus and a loose reel seat with the Crucial. Still like the rods enough, St. Croix have been worse for me with eyelet issues, won't buy Abu logs, not about to pay for Loomis, Fenwick...... maybe, Daiwa...... haven't yet but maybe too. Whatta ya do??? One year warranty is a rather substantial amount of time if fishing enough to know whether or not you got a lemon...
