I fished the creek today had the pleasure of meeting crappie pro and jason . I was on the way back to the dock when trolling motor started smoking bottom line the switch burned up and I paddled to rr bridge before a couple of good guys finished pulling me to the dock.The motor had been giving me some trouble not engaging quite right but as usual I ignored instead of fixing problem someday I will learn maybe but at least it was not raining or freezeing cold and I was able to give my fish to my rescue freinds.I did have a new motor at home and will get the other one repaired.good fishing KS
