I was on Sardis and had the same type of day. Started around 9:30ish, caught 3 right off the bat. Caught 2 more right together about an hour later, caught another one about 30 minutes later, then nothing for 2 hours before I called it quits around 1ish and grabbed some lunch at Holliday lodge. Wind didnt seam that bad but it was enough to make the fishing uncomfortable in my 16ft aluminum rig. The ride back to the ramp into the wind and hitting the waves head on was a little testy. Caught 6 keepers, 2 throwbacks, and one gar. Had another one hit real hard but as soon as I got the rod out of the holder I felt it go slack, reeled it all the way in and my crank and snap were gone and I had slime about 3 feet up the line.

Trollin motor was giving me trouble right at the end which contributed to the decision to pack it up. Damn thing kept shutting off on its own. I've got a Powerdrive with a co-pilot and it would beep 3 times then shut off. Id turn it back on and it would troll for a while then do the same thing. Batteries had a full charge and I can usually go over 6 hours on them when they are fully charged and I was trolling with the wind at my back the whole time. I'm wondering if the battery on the remote needs to be replaced? We tried trollin with the outboard for a while but I didnt have anything to drag to slow it down, as sood as I'd put it into gear we'd get up over 3mph, even into the wind.
