I decided to pull crankbaits after all at the Sawdust Pile on The Rez. The Advanced GPS Ultrex seemed to work fine; the 360 seemed to work fine mounted to the Ultrex; the 93sv showed that the LVS32 and DCS transducer worked fine on the trolling motor; the 1199s even showed that I was recording an iTrack. Once I confirmed that I all of that was working (and even seeing fish on the fishfinders), I figured that I might as well continue testing with some actual fishing. It was definitely hot in the air and in the water (already 88-deg F when I arrived around 8:00 am).

I kept only 3 of a few crappie that I caught; caught plenty of catfish, including some nice ones that I decided to throw back. We ended up eating the crappie this evening. I’ve noticed a few adjustments that I still need to make—some minor as well as some that may take a little more work and money. I can’t really complain since I’m fishing more these days due to project delays at work and kids’ schedules getting more manageable.
