I would be interested if the others pass.

Hoping to hit the ice this weekend in the Longville area. Has the ice held up pretty well?

I’d think the longville area may still have fishable ice. I talked with someone on Sat. that has a cabin on Woman and they showed me a area in front of a resort with a fair amount of open water. Depending on how much snow they get from this storm today and tomorrow in that area it may be a real sloppy mess on the lakes in that area. Hope you are able to get in another outing.

Thanks, I was up on 3/22 and was surprised to see a number of wheelers and SXS on our lake. If I need to, I can always drive a little north and find some accessible ice.

If you know someone with a 3d printer, they should be able to print you off one with a small slit in it to get over the cable.

Another issue we see at school with cell phones is that students will put their phone in the “holder” during class, but leave their hotspot on to connect their iPad to in order to circumvent the firewall and restrictions.

Lindy Flyer?

I’ve got the Little Dipper with the longer handle, and really like it.

I’m not sure if it is the same as Lowrance, but for Lowrance units you need the card with the update on it in the unit before powering up.

Frozen Pizzas if there is an oven (breakfast pizza usually goes over well)
Wet ones
Towels (dry up a wet floor or put at the base of a drafty door)

Anyone ever subscribed to or given a subscription to Bespoke Post? I’ve seen the ads and it looks like something I’d enjoy getting.

Thanks!

I kinda figured that is the advice I’d receive. For the price of Seastar, I’d just put in cable steering again. I don’t anticipate having the boat for too much longer, and don’t want to put that much coin into an upgrade.

We have a Bullet blender. When seasonings get clumped together, it usually only takes a quick blitz to break it up.

Is there a recommended brand of air bag for a Ram?

Pretty sure this is the transducer you’re gonna want…

I saw the same classified ad online and almost pulled the trigger.

I have a HDS gen 2, HDS gen 1, and a HDI 5 all networked together. the HDI 5 did not have ethernet or NMEA 2000 so I have it connected with a NMEA0183.

I’ve been slow to get rid of the HDI5 because of the three, it is the only one that will take my MN Lakemaster chip.

Wondering if you happened to find the gimbal mount? TIA

I’m in SEMN. (near Rochester)

I’d pay shipping if we can’t work out a time to meet.

Wondering where that bucket holder is from? TIA

We are just east of Longville.

I’m looking to do a trip the first weekend in Dec. I’m still ironing out plans.

Looks like some Sitka lures I have…

Sounds more like your vendor doesn’t know how to use the new system.

I got my wife and I licenses at the local hardware store by myself. I handed over my license from last year, answered all the questions and they gave me my license and a voucher that my wife can take to any license terminal and get her’s printed at her leisure.

We didn’t have to go together, and I didn’t have to provide any SS# etc…

I try to get as many of my started plants as possible from the local HS horticulture club. There usually isn’t a ton of variety, but the plants always come in great shape, they are really cheap, and it supports a good program!

What I’m seeing online is guys using a Motorguide bracket ON TOP OF a Minnkota bracket.

You might be better balanced by having the weight in the center of the boat with batteries closer together.

Stand up and hold two 5 gallon pails of water.

Are you more stable with the pails at your side or with your arms extended.

Not possible with the layout of the boat

For now I’m running a 65 power drive, but will be looking to upgrade to an 80# motorguide soon

Same regs year ’round… 3 trout, 1 can be larger than 16″.

*must have stamp to keep fish

I use a polamar to the swivel, double surgeon loop on the swivel end of the leader, and snell the hook. I do keep a couple dozen hooks pre snelled in the box so I don’t have to tie at night.

This has caught sturgeon to 67″ and flats to 43″ and never had a snell slip.

…oh yeah 65# or 80# Suffix 832
