Great news. They opened last Wednesday. Sounds like it’s about twice as big. Looking forward to checking it out soon. -

Last weekend I was monitoring a bay on Tonka whether people were still driving out. I saw 6-7 vehicles. In one spot there were 4 trucks with 3 wheel houses. One of the houses was 20 ft+. On Sunday I arrived to see the sheriff put up a thin ice sign that 6 vehicles had driven past. I returned to fish it last Wednesday late afternoon with 4 vehicles already out. Drove to the spot I fished 2 other times in the last month and drilled the first hole. LiveScope showed the fish 30-50 feet away. Drilled a cluster of 5 holes in that spot and game on. It was almost as fast as you could put your line down. A lot of up bites. After it slowed down on the small jigging spoon, I switched to a 4mm tungsten jig and caught more. The fish shifted 10 feet away once where one of the other holes was and then went back to the initial hole. For crappie, I ended up with a 13, a couple 12s, couple 11s, three 10s and a handful of 9s. Also 4 bluegill either side of 8” plus several smaller of both species. All fish were released. The pictures I posted are the 13 with me, both 12s an 11 and a dink. I measured them on a Li’l Dipper which is accurate from the middle of the hole at the top of the handle. I am going to order a Ketch board. The rod for the tungsten jig is a Tickle Stick and for the spoon a Panfish Sweetheart. All three times I’ve fish this spot the big fish move out about 60-90 minutes before dark. I suppose they are moving to a different area (weedline?) to feed. If I get out to this spot again this year I’ll try and figure out where. When I drove off the bay there were still 6 other vehicles out. -

Yup. Bullseye on the Ricochet . Bit o simple St Pats humor as that’s how I live n guess this flows thru my fingers. Always interesting to see how close guesses are here. where my island is clears out before the bay n large sections of lake so that is fun also. In past a few times last 28 years I hit it right on. Silly icy fun Big Smiles n Keep on Rocken! T -

Question
tashit
My battery seems to die on me about every 3-4 times I have the boat out. At times I do a lot of starting and stopping so the motor ('86 Merc 90 hp) may not have the time to keep the battery charged. However I read that the output from the rectifier should be 13-13.5 V at w.o.t. The graph in my boat was reading 14-15 V at idle and 16-16.5 V at w.o.t. Is this too much? Do I possibly have a bad rectifier or stator? I'm hoping it's just from starting/stopping fairly often but we never had this problem until last year and we've had the boat for many years. Oh, and the battery did hold a charge over the winter and I don't think it's a bad battery. Thanks!
