My advice to myself now is to call up Kingman and have the kids fish with other kids. My son needs the introduction to how much fun it can really be and I think it will take seeing another kid with a sun fish. I tried to have him pick out a small lure he could call his own, but he keeps going for th...

My son is 4 years old. Maybe it's me or maybe it's him but we have both been skunked the 3 times we went out together. I'll have to give him credit because if I ask him to go he'll grab his shoes and run out the door and grab his fishing rod. Biggest problem is that he only fishes for 15 minutes bef...

Now my curiousity is peeked about using leeches. I've seen them for sale but never hea...

I'm getting ready to pick up my first deep cycle battery and I have read a lot of conflicting information about charging rates.

No I haven't made it out yet. I'm still working on mounting the trolling motor to the canoe. I got close but overall wasn't fully comfortable with my first mounting bracket. After that's done I'll pick up my battery and hit the river.

Where did you go? What's bitting?

I fired off my math to Minn_Kota and this is their reply. No, that is not correct. You are not reading the information correctly. What that battery says it has is 120 minutes reserve and 70 amp hours. When it says 120 minutes reserve, it means that if you have a device that draws 25 amps, it will po...

Batteries, trolling motors and bad math?

Ok here's how I see it.

Battery is 130 minutes reserve at 75 amp hours

Trolling motor max amp draw is 38.

So my math tells me at full throttle I can run at 260 minutes or at half throttle I can run for 520 minutes.

Correct or bad thinking?

Oh I am running it on a 16 foot canoe.
