After an assortment of failures, I made it back to Louie today.
First big motor wouldn’t start. Found a starter for it online. Installed and found out why the starter never worked well. Loose ground wire!!
Antique Motor Guide Great White died. Got a Minn Kota Riptide!! Only took 2 weeks to get mounting bolts from Bass Pro!! Then Covid!! Fortunately I didn’t die!! Got an antiviral from doctor that really helped!! Then yesterday it rained all day!!

So today I quietly went to Louie. First few spots in the creek, nothing!! Moved to the lake and started catching some fish. Spotted some hanging around scattered brush and put a shiner in their face. Bingo!! Caught a few nice fish and some smaller ones. Kept 5 for supper and headed home.
It’s great to be back in the saddle again!!Name:  A6C78947-8650-4F3E-9E7B-5B039816AAC7.jpg
