    Jon Boat size for Rim Lakes

    I'm looking at buying a Tracker Topper 1036 Jon boat. Just looking to get me and my 7 year old son out trolling some of the Rim lakes. The boat is 10 feet long and 36 inches wide with a beam of 4 foot 4 inches. I picked up a 55lb thrust Minn Kota trolling motor recently. I don't really want to go any bigger as I'm trying to avoid going with a trailer. My truck bed is 7 feet long with the tailgate down. I'm not needing to stand on the boat, I realize it won't be terribly steady, just want to get out on some tiny lakes like Woods Canyon, Knoll, Bear and Black Canyon. BTW I weigh 190 and he weighs 50. The boat has a person max of 330 lbs and a total weight max of 710 pounds. Anyone use a 10 foot boat? Any advice?

    Thanks, I guess I'll scratch that off. What did you catch the fish with?

    We had a church campout right by so we hit Woods Canyon. We caught 6 in 3 hours. All trolling on black rooster tails. That lake has gotten so busy I'm not sure if I'll go back to be honest. Lots of people going the wrong way around the lake, kids on kayaks not paying attention, etc. My dad used to take me there as a kid. We used to catch a lot of fish trolling around. Now with the boat it's time to find some new lakes. Looking at Knoll next.

    You can shoot pellet guns in the City of Mesa but only target shooting at a backstop.

    Plantar fasciitis

    I'm a chiropractor and deal with patients daily with this issue. Almost every case I've seen, the patient had a severe increase in activity. The typical treatments are: Ice like crazy. Freeze a water bottle and roll your foot on it. Freeze a Dixie cup and peel the top edges back and rub the ice on your foot while it melts. Also put a rag on the ground and scrunch it up with your toes. This stretches the muscles and uses them, forcing blood flow to the area which promotes healing. Be careful first thing in the morning getting out of bed. Take it slow and easy. At night your foot heals. When you get up in the morning there is commonly sharp pain on your first step. That is the weight of your body tearing the fascia on the bottom of your foot. Ice, stretch lightly and take it easy. It's not fun and its not easy to get rid of. Some people swear by certain things and some swear by others. Its a tough one.

    Thanks for everyones advice. I purchased a 94 Grumman 14 foot v hull boat. Came with the matching trailer, 18hp Evinrude 2 stroke outboard, anchor, new tires and wheels, new gas tank, new siphon/gas line and oil. Not sure if I'll keep the Evinrude, I have a 55lb thrust Minn Kota trolling motor I plan on using. The boats been sitting for 6 years, it's in great shape, just needs a good clean up and going through the motor. Any recommendations for a full cover? I was thinking about buying a giant tarp to cover the boat and trailer. What material is best?
