Nolin yesterday pulled into Piney caught 4 fish 2 keepers in the first 6 drops, the the trolling motor says I quit. It was turning about as fast as I run which is slowly. Then it quit all together I think my January 2013 batteries are gone. Went from full charge to dead in minutes. So not a lost day tied up to trees like i did when I was a kid and managed 14 keepers by noon I was really missing my trolling motor and the wind was getting up. So my Christmas list has changed and Santa will come early and all will be good. My wife that has put up with me 36 years now doesn't have to shop this year cause Santa is bringing me 2 deep cycle 27 series batteries today, I will let here wrap the receipt for me on Christmas morning. Have a great winter fishing season God is good.
