From your report and Jim Lyons, it's the time for the Lakers.

Sounds like an awesome outing.

That is some hot fishing. I am kicking myself for deciding this winter was time to work on the boat trailer. :oops: 29 in 4hrs the math on that is a fish every 8minutes. Just enough time to wipe the grease and have a coffee between fish :P Good day

Incredible!!! Awesome job. It's killing me that I shrink wrapped my boat this year, for the first time ever. :( Never again that's for sure.

Weekend wrap up.
Friday 4 hrs - 29 landed
Saturday 6 hrs- 31 landed
Sunday 4 hrs - 23 landed
Almost 1000 pounds of Lakers boated if we go with a conservative 12 pound average. Quinte gets all the rep for walleyes and ice fishing but these cold water lakers are world class and I am blessed to have a world class fishery 15 mins from my house. (And a very understanding wife). Image

Nice Fish !!

What did you think of the Ghost trolling motor ? I understand that with the ECM (brushless motor) you get more power and longer battery life, but I've also heard negative reports on it's connectivity...you pretty well need the CARBON model sonar from Lowrance to realize full functionality. Also, unlike the Minnkota Ulterra...there's no power lift/remote deployment...which is handy for us old guys at the ramp by ourselves. Just looking for your over-all thoughts. Thanks.

There was a short period yesterday, around 2pm, where it almost felt like summer on the water. Almost...

Just getting it figured out but I have hds carbon sonar which is what made it a good option. I found it super easy to use, yet have a few question that lowrance tec support is working on. other then not being able to read the power percentage or mph that the motor is set at on sonar it was flawless. I plan all my trolling routes on the carbon and save them. deploy the trolling motor, turn on kicker motor and the ghost steers the boat along the set route. I am aware that the ipilot link will do the same things but I would have had to change sonars as well. As far as power and battery life Didn't notice a difference yet since kicker does most of work.
Haven't even touch the following contours or any of the other features that the motor has, will have to let you know.
Biggest reason I change was that the motor guide that was on boat was having issues and the warranty was over.
we ran the same 4 routes all weekend and landed fish after fish, I did run the batteries dead on Saturday but I had the ghost set at 80% when 40% would have done the job. In the 30 mins I manually steered the boat I lost 3 spoons and broke 3 lines (fighting fish and snapping pics lol) may pay it off in saved tackle.
I am told the new ti elites will run the motor and was told that the ulterra doesn't like the cold weather and that was a no go for me since I need to fish until the lures bounce when casting lol.
over all it is a great option for me and my application.
