Thread: Late Jordan Report for Friday May 7th

Fished Jordan Lake yesterday and had another awesome day on the water except for the on and off again winds. Drained two fully charged batteries and actually connected the trolling motor to the main battery for the last hour.......Glad I could still start the boat!

Hey Dirtrooster,

Didn't think so under the T-Top but today I can see and feel the slight sunburn on my arms and back of neck even though I was sort of under cover and shaded from most of the sun. Just a minor setback ready to go again the batteries should be charged tomorrow, now to convince the wife :D
