Boy what a mistake!!!
I said I would not tell everyone how stupid I am , but hear goes. May keep someone from making the same dumb move. Went Thursday, mostly to play with my sonar unit. Got in boat and pushed ENTER, no responce. After several more tries And cleaning battery contacts, fuses,etc.. The great dummy realized you have to push the power button to get it to come on. After reading Cane pole's comments regarding sound travel in water (1100fps)and wondering why I didn't see many fish, I realized in shallow water(less than 11')my trolling motor/ outboard was making to much noise. Please don't be like me. Just because you paid a lot of money for a nice sonar, doesn't mean it can take place of the space between your ears, Every body have a good laugh, I have.

I tried that, but it leaves a few bones, that I don't like. Maybe the newer ones are better.

It's always good practice to rinse the bilge with lake water occasionally.

Yep, just keep a bar of LAVA soap in the bilge for those occasions. Does a good cleaning job.It's always good practice to rinse the bilge with lake water occasionally.

I think I can beat this...let me try. Went to the local hot spot Friday morning....20 boats wearing them out with 100 yards of launch ramp.....get it all ready.....don't take off the straps...won't budge...three other guys waiting to launch don't see the humor as we pull out and driver of the truck unhooks the straps............Saturday morning....remember straps....but had stayed at a local hotel Friday night....soooooo remove the keys and place on console....partner sends me across the lake....no keys....yell at him...again 20 to 25 boats watching.....get the keys....he stops gets out and waits for me to trolling motor over to get them.....different 5 guys waiting to launch....but they had no sense of humor either.........
Sunday we fished a different lake 70 miles west of there.
I kept hearing Forrest say "Stupid is as Stupid does!"

Could be worse. I went fishing by myself and I always hook my main line to the hook on my trailer strap. Was in a hurry backed down unhooked the trailer strap and backed it in. Yep you guessed it there goes the boat. Was the only one on the lake. Got lucky about 30 minutes later the wind switched direction and the boat come back to the dock. Your not the only one with that empty space.
