So Sunday my wife and I decide to go see if we can catch some crappie. I used to fish Lake Conway with my buddy, but he passed away in 2007 so I haven't been much since. So we launched at Palarm Creek access, go to the boat trail and everything is looking good nice day pretty smooth water and all the sudden the boat hits a stump and my wife looks like a helicopter trying to keep her balance and we both are startled and admit a little scared. I said to her we are in the clearly marked boat trail and we hit a stump what the heck? So we go on heading toward the north end of the lake and it gets too shallow so we turn around and head to a patch of cypress trees and boom hit another stump hard and it throws me forward and the kill cord comes off and kills the motor. So were on top of this stump and no worries until I realize the kill switch is broken. We rock and rock and paddle in a circle because we cant get off the stump. (for about an hour) I then tell my wife I remember why I dislike Lake Conway.(LOL) I disassemble the switch and get it to where it will crank finally and we get off the stump easily. Go toward the cypress and as were going hit a couple more stumps. Get settled in and fish for a while and never even get a bite. So we decide lets go and we make the short trip back but it seems very long because im having to hold the button with one hand and run the throttle with the other. It was an experience for sure. So now we are looking at other options. LOL
