Another day out, Was able to find about 10 crappie, but thats it :/

I tried Bandit 300's and kept the line short to be in the 8-10ft range, then after moving locations and still no hits we started dropping depth. Finally started catching a few crappie when we got the baits down to 12-13ft.


Batteries seem to be lasting better the last few trips, but still only about 3.5-4.5 hrs of pulling the boat at 1.7-1.9mph. Need to figure out a solution to up the runtime to 6-8hrs, if the batteries are just old I'll replace, but need to figure out how to tell for sure I guess.

I also want to find a pair of long trolling rods, so we can start running 6 rods instead of 4. Right now I have 4, 7' rods. I have 2 more holders setup, but it just seems like a mess waiting to happen running rods the same length there.
