Ready to Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After 5 weeks of waiting, I finally got my boat back in the driveway Friday and it is loaded and ready to go get some fish slime on it!!

I had to replace a few things and my auto bilge pump was one of those things. I had just put a new one in the boat in September. After the incident at Crescent, I discovered it wasn't working so I replaced it today. A small piece on insulation from a wire that I had stripped had got up into the impeller and caused the impeller to become locked in place and that is what burned the motor up.

Is that what caused the boat to sink??? I'll never know but it sure didn't help things out any. That's something to watch out for when you are doing any work in your boats in the future. Some things you just can't control, but I could have prevented that small piece of wire insulation from being in my boat by cleaning up after myself....Live and learn:banghead...Now lets go fishing!!!

Glad ya got it all straightened out and back home.

Way to Go!!! Now go out and rip some lips. I always believe that somthing Good will come after somthing Bad. So in your case their is a 3lb crappie waiting on ya. Good to see you back in action

Great news Tim, go and get you some.

Glad the Boat is back Home , Let us know how it runs RR

You can't keep a good man down.

Good to hear Tim!

Glad to hear yore boat is ready to fish. Next year if you rent the house, park your boat over at Leonard's Landing. It will be protected from winds.

I knew it wouldn't take you long to get Norma's boat ready to go!

good for you bud,fish beware........

Good news. I have found grubs in my pump. Need to do a better job of cleaning.

Good news!! I'm sure the fish are running for cover. I've had friends give me a hard time about keeping the boat cleaned up and no trash, at least a minimum around at any given time, just my OCD talking mostly. Never thought that such a small thing could cause that. Glad you're back at it. We're looking at icy conditions tonight so get a few for me.

Tim,
Glad to see you're over the "speedbump". Things like this never seem as bad when they are in the rear view mirror. You ready to go to Talquin? I'm gonna try my best to make down there in a couple of weeks.

It may be April before I make it to Talquin. I'll probably be fishing Eufaula all this month.

Where do yall put in when you fish there? We usually put in at Florence if we fish up river and Lake Point if we go down. Never fished a whole lot past there. I like that lake but it can sure get rough in a tin boat when the wind gets up on the main lake.

Now you got a good dilemma, what jig to use out of that small assortment you have

• :Rofl Glad your back in the saddle again.
  
  

Make it happen Tim! :ThumbsUp
