Anyone ever watch the bigfoot search/reality type cable shows? They make me laugh just thinking about them.

What about using C or D cell batteries? Is there an easy volts/hours/weight vs cost and ease of use formula? The original Lo-K-Tors had two six volt lantern batteries in the case. My new unit came with a D size battery pack. I take ~12# of photo gear alone plus some fishing luxuries. I'm willing to carry and paddle it because having access to those tools makes me happy. I'd have to drop the photo and fishing gear to double portage. It could happen some day but the extra weight still adds to the memories+ column.

Can fish hear? Do they attack squeaky spinner baits to shut them up so they can hear their natural pray move about? Tick tick tick tick braaap. Tic tick tick tick… is what my finder says on a quiet evening. I bought a fish caller from the back of Boy's Life once. It went down six feet and ticked. I could hear that too.
