    Default tough day on the water


    North wind, sun, cold, just when the fishing or rather catching was about to start, The starting motor battery went dead, man messed up a good day, Guess I'll be working on the battery charger, or wiring or connector, or who knows what could be the problem,,,, oh well had deer sausage and cheese and crackers with a coke cola for dinner ,,,, later all

    I think you better give Weldon a call to have that checked out. Give him a couple of crappie and he will have you ready in no time.

    Battery issues suck on a windy day. I noticed my two batteries for my trolling motor was a bit sluggish. They were the ones that came with the boat when I bought it 3 yrs ago, I'm sure they were the cheapest they could find to put in a new rig.

    Well back in from the barn, checked the wiring, (ok), checked the charger, (ok), put the Suzuki tight on the nuts, plugged in the charger yellow charging light came on, guess I'll have to wait a few hours and see if it is holding charge, probably have to get a new battery, seems like every once in awhile a bad battery slips through the mix,,, wait and see I guess.

    Late yesterday took the battery out, took to town, yep bad cell causing a fast draw down, replaced, reinstalled, now ready for the water, looks like lousy fishing weather coming up, to pretty for this time of year. oh well....

    Oh and for you walley chasers, there up the creek, buddy came by last night we talked fishing, got a report or two of walley going up the james and the flat creek, so I passed it on to him, Now to you, I'm sure the walley are moving up the creeks and to the Dam on Stockton so go get you some, I'll stay out of your way..
