Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 BBW A hand control trolling motor should be just right for that , Set the batt , long ways in the canoe , to balance it use a set if jumper cable wires to increase the leangth of the motor leads , it will steer just like an outboard THe plus is being able to move the batt to keep it in trim . fore to aft insted of all the weaight o the stern .

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Wouldn't take much of a electric to move a canoe. You said square stern? Perfect. You don't need a big battery but you need a charger. They are pretty cheap. Quiet, move you at just about any speed you want, but the down side is NO WATER SKIING WITH IT.

BigBootsWilly Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Good morning all. It's 20 degrees and sunny, supposed to cloud up later and be in the low 40's the rest of the day. This is the first time the temperature has been below freezing in 15 days. I thank you for the advice on the electric motor. That would work pretty slick. I'll maybe start looking around for one. Adding any type of motor, however, will require me then to register it and have insurance on it. That downside is holdin me back. I was looking forward to towing bikinied hotties around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBootsWilly Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Here in the Empire State if it has any form of propulsion other than muscle or wind it has to be registered. Unless it's used only on a privately owned body of water. If you guys send me some $$$ I'll buy us our own lake. We could even name it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Spent most of the morning watching Davie McPhail tie flies. He us gooooood. But he uses and ties some flies that I am not sure would represent anything in American waters. Some are close, but with my fishing skills, probably no cigar. I did see a new leach pattern that I want to try, but I will tie some with a red bead head and some without. Just to see if the fish like them. As soon as I get Momma back on her pins, I plan a trip to Lake Washington to try them on the perch. Some table fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluebirds aren't much of a seed eater except in dire circumstances. Course you could buy lots of mealworms for em...they'd sure like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBootsWilly Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 A feeder. We get mealworms, mousey grubs and waxies from a guy that lives a few miles away. He raises them to sell for bait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBootsWilly Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Glad they were biting a little for you CB. Made the Bluebird feeder from some scrap cedar and plexiglass. Put an old small clear glass bowl inside to hold the mealworms. It is truly a thing of fine craftsmanship and an object of beauty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBootsWilly Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 CB, Hawks vs Crows. I was hunting turkey a few springs ago and was set up at the edge of a field. I heard and saw a pair of hawks soaring in the sky a couple of hundred feet up. All of a sudden a pair of crows flew out of the woods and started harassing them. The hawks split up, one stayed at the same level but the other climbed. The two crows ganged up on the lower hawk and were dive bombing at it for a couple of minutes. All of a sudden the other hawk dove down from higher up and nailed one of the crows. Black feathers flew and that crow spiraled down like a shot down plane and the other one beat wings back into the woods. I wished I had a camera to record that as it really was an amazing thing to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
