Thread: Lake Washington

This is what i catty in my boat. Don't leave home without it. Hook it up to battery. Turn it on and you got the power you need to jump off anything you got.

Sold an old van to a guy this past spring that had been setting for close to 3 years without being started. The battery was dead and had been dead through at least 2 Michigan winters. He pulled one of those out of his pocket and I laughed at him. No way was he starting that van with a power pack that small. Two minutes later he was laughing at me as the van sat there running. That thing is a must have as far as I'm concerned.

Big difference when you have that direct connection over jumper cables. One of the secrets to jumping is once connection is made wait 3-5 minutes and let battery you are jumping from put a surface charge on cranking battery.

Washington has been dead since weekend of MCC tournament. We thumped em that sunday, but it has been a slow go since. Caught ONE the 26th, packed up at lunch and headed to another nearby lake and caught some good numbers of nice fish.

Takes a while for a TM battery to charge a starter battery.
