This website has become more than I can digest in a day. My garden and my yard are suffering, and my fishing time is being limited. Please make all comments worth the space they contain. We here are all quite capable of finding web sites, so if possible please only the web addresses.

I have the same problem. Any activity that crowds out fishing time is excessive and out-of-proportion. (Except for sailing and aerobic sex;-)

The trick is to learn to ignore the posts from the worthless posters; you'll soon learn how to do that. And (wish I could follow this rule myself) never, ever, never flame the stupidity put forth by the posters who should not have ventured here.

The thing that bugs me about you and a few others is, you are always saying things here before I can say them. BOTOH it saves me a lot of time for reading. BTW I do my Fishing from a small pontoon boat with a 3 HP electric motor. 4 L/A batteries are good for about 4 hours @2 knots if I use ice in the beer cooler.

I have used electric trolling motors in place of gasoline powered ones for years. A single 55 lb. thrust trolling motor is a good auxilliary for a 23 ft. sailboat, and to prove a point I once towed four 20 ft. scow sailboats with such a motor at better than two knots.
