    Default Wylie report


    Ok let me start with I worked on the father inlaw's boat this week and got the big motor off.
    Put rod Holder bases on and decided to try it out this morning.
    Trolling motor fishing. Tried to longline some but the wind was just to much. I tightlined one rod and did manage 2 white perch.
    I must say I have to hand it to all the guys here that can hold a boat in this kind of wind. Weather guy said 5-10 mph and at times it was gale force. You guys rock with a trolling motor.
    Sad to say the I gave it up after an hour or so and now I'm home getting ready to cut grass.
    Hope yall was able to get out and find some.
    Sure wishing I had a running motor to find a wind break.
    Thank a Veteran every chance you get.

    Time for a 24 volt with copilot or ipilot the wind doesn't stand a chance...well upto about 20 mph is my breaking point.

    At least you was out trying. The winds have been tough all of April.

    Trolling motor is a 24volt 65lbs autopilot saltwater series MK but the remote is bad so having to use foot control.
    Wind pushed me around like I was using a paddle.

    Mr. Grady, not sure what I would need but it had a 65 hp on it u till Thursday.
    I brought a 50 hp back from my last trip to Ga from my brother in law but it needs new wiring harness. And I'm not sure the wires on the 65 will cross over.
    It all takes money and time. I know this, so I have to just save up for a bit.
