That's Awesome - Congrats!

Awesome fish - congrats on the PB!

Yikes - glad you were OK (eventually).

I like Gander mountain.

I think I'm becoming addicted as this type of fishing is a blast. I'm in for next weekend - my ship or yours?

Thanks - we launched out of humber and headed for the deep water.

Looks like everyone had a great day and those Walleye look yummy!

So.....suckers?

Took the boat out on lake 'O' yesterday (first time for the boat) with Iceguy to chase some salmon. Lots of action early as shown by Iceguy. Got some size as well with a PB for myself - thanks to some good coaching! Went out again this morning with a couple of buddies. Tough water out there today - 4/6 in 2 hrs with two shakers and two teens. :-)

Went to Angling Outfitters to get the boat fitted for a Berts system. A customer had purchased a new Lowrance and Jos was setting it up for him. Turns to me and asks if I have my unit there and I bring in it and he sets it up as per his, including updating my operation software - no charge. Not rocket science but a definite improvement over the way I had it set-up (especially some of the gps related stuff). This guy really knows what he is doing! Always nice to get more than you bargained for, instead of feeling violated! :-)

Think of it this way - your arms won't be sore from not pulling in all those fish.....

They handle the water very well and are great for fishing.

Hopefully democracy will hold him accountable.

I too have a three bank charger and really only use two banks for the trolling motor batteries. The alternator keeps the cranking battery quite randy. So - if you can save some dough, I would take the two bank.

Winds from the east, bring up the beast...

Good information to have - Thanks Walleyed!

Great report Lew - and some say that the wind from the east brings up the beast. :-)

Thanks for posting.

Just thought it was worth sharing....and yes - pretty slow day.

Does the statement, "We've always done it like that" ring any bells? The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number. Why was that gauge used? Because that's the way they built them in England, and English expatriates built the US railroads. Why did the English build them like that? Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the pre-railroad tramways, and that's the gauge they used. Why did "they" use that gauge then? Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they used for building wagons, which used that wheel spacing. Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing? Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break on some of the old, long distance roads in England, because that's t he spacing of the wheel ruts. So who built those old rutted roads? Imperial Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe (and England) for their legions. The roads have been used ever since. And the ruts in the roads? Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match for fear of destroying their wagon wheels. Since the chariots were made for Imperial Rome, they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing. Therefore the United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is derived from the original specifications for an Imperial Roman war chariot. B ureaucracies live forever. So the next time you are handed a Specification/ Procedure/ Process and wonder "What horse's ass came up with it?" you may be exactly right. Imperial Roman army chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the back ends of the rear ends of two war horses. (Two horses' asses.) Now, the twist to the story: When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs. The SRBs are made by Thiokol at their factory at Utah. The engineers who designed the SR Bull would have preferred to make them a bit fatter, but the SRBs had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site. The railroad line >from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in the mountains. And the SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track, as you now know, is about as wide as two horses' behinds. So, a major Space Shuttle design feature of what is arguably the world's most advanced transportation system was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a horse's ass. And you thought being a horse's ass wasn't important? Ancient horse's asses control almost everything.... and CURRENT Horses Asses are controlling everything else!!

I think that it would be important to understand how much amperage the engine draws to start? If it is low, the issue of using the deep cell may be a moot point?
