Thread: Doubled my score

Yesterday I started fishing Grenada at Piney Woods at daylight because someone said a friend caught 40 there yesterday. Wind was terrible with the trolling motor coming out of the water, so I decided to move. I was taking up a rod I leaned over and mashed the remote to off. When I realized it and started it backup I had drifted back over my lines and wrapped a line in the TM. I thought I could idle the big motor to keep the other lines from tangling. Well it was over the lines as well and wrapped too. I just cut the lines and headed to the landing. I learned what has been said about never stopping!!,,lol. This was my second time pulling cranks so I am learning the hard way, but lessons I will remember.
I got to the landing and removed the lines form the motors and the wind had laid. So I put back in and tried along the dam. I caught 8 good fish from 10 to about 2 with 3 shorts and a small cat. I caught them in 25 to 32 FOW with 80- 100 feet of line at 2mph. That is twice what I caught on my first outing.
When I got to the landing there was, I think a guide with 2-3 guys in the boat that had caught 2 so I was pretty happy. I caught 4 on my first try. Another double and I will be up to a limit!!
