I got to the ramp before day light. The lot was almost full. I had a hard time finding a place to park. Got the boat in the water and the truck parked. Got on board and turned the key....... NADA.... A dead battery on the motor!
Well I could jump it with the trolling motor battery or just use the trolling motor to head out into the lake. Going back home was not an option ! I trolled out into the lake. I was having some good luck in the area just off the ramp so why not try it again.
I hooked up at the end of the first pass. A nice one! I circled around and put another one in the box. By this time I was a little further down the lake than I liked so I headed back towards the ramp. The wind was starting to pick up and it was making it a little hard to control the boat. On the way back towards the ramp the rods went off a few more times. I was pushing my little electric at full speed. Maybe I should call it a day. I did a count of the box and found 5 nice size fish in there. That was a good meal or two. I headed in.
I lost one close to the boat and threw 2 back to grow a little more. I was off the water by 10AM.
The boat is back home and is charging up. Turns out I forgot to turn off the key the last time I was out and ran the battery down. Its charging up now.
