Well here was a trip that you wish that you never had went on. It started well Friday afternoon, got on the lake weather was nice and went to fishing favorites and spider rigged some minnows. The fishing wasnt good but our campground neighbors didnt have much luck either. Then Saturday came and things went from bad to worse, started spider rigging with out any success and switched over to pulling crankbaits. Didnt have all the lines out when I got a massive hit on a black bandit, reeled in a nice 1.5 pound green carp while this was going on I had a problem that need my attention for a second and stupid me layed my rod down with the green card still in the water, well everyone know what happened next. I heard a splash and i could just see my trolling rod sinking in 35 feet of water. Now this is the bad part of the day, im not even close to worse yet.
I met bowhunter 1234567890( I just put in all the numbers can never remember what ones need to be there) and we went to a couple of places later on in the morning together and caught a few fish. I landed my biggest fish of the day Name: monster fish.jpg Views: 465 Size: 44.9 KB and I thought to myself when I pulled it out, I dont remember that minnow being that big and had another one just as big. Its getting time to head out say goodbye to Pat and crew and then the worse part kicks in.
I had mentioned to my partner when we left that I need to get gas at Lithia. welllll when we left the coves down by Lithia partner jumped behind wheel of boat and I never thought about gas because I wasnt driving. We get halfway back to Eagle creek and the motor goes phhhhh. phhhhhhhhhh then nothing.
The new 80 lb terrova will pull my boat 3 mph fully charged, pushed the test button nothing lights up, we trolled back for 1.5 hours starting at about 2.5 mph and got to the ramp trolling .7 miles per hour.
Floated the boat on the trailer and was done. So if anyone can top this trip this weekend just add it to the bottom here.
