Moss Lake 3/19/16 Report*

I went to Moss this afternoon really just to test out some electronics that I rearranged and rewired.

I ran into the back of a creek and found 2 young men whose motor had let them down, so we spent the next hour towing their boat back to the landing.

By the time I ran back to the fishing grounds, there was only about 90 minutes till sunset. The first place I tried was holding some hungry crappie. I thought I had caught 20, but there was only 19 in the livewell when I got home.

My darling wife is heating up some oil as I type! The water temp was about 67 and the few fish I caught were about 5 feet deep in 15 to 20 fow. All fish caught vertical fishing with jigs.

Good report Shadboy, congratulations. Always good to help someone in need.

Nice job! Congrats.

Super report, super pics and super good deed. I took the liberty of fixing the upside down photo. I saved it to my comp. ,rotated it and reinstalled. Then I edited out the upside down. "D"

I have been on both ends of the tow rope. Glad you took the time to help out. Years ago, I was on a lake near my home in November scouting for ducks. No other boats had been seen on the lake that day. My engine blew on the old boat I had at the time and I was using the trolling motor to try and get back to the dock which was probably 2 miles away. A pleasure boat suddenly appeared and I jumped up and went to waving my arms. He turned and came over and stopped. I told him what had happened and asked for a tow. He said he did not have time to mess with me and left. He went in the direction of my boat landing. I finally made it in after the trolling motor battery went down and I brought out the paddle. Since then I have helped several others including towing a couple of guys two miles across Pamlico Sound in rough water. Again glad you helped. Good report.

Thanks D! I'm really ignorant about these computers. I mess more stuff up than I fix.

Way to go!

Glad you had a good day. Love the mount.

Thanks, the mount looks crooked in the pic, but it looks right in person. After I posted the pic, I had to run back out to the boat shed and look at it again.

I need to get up with you when I get ready to put in a new finder unit. I've never trusted my electronic because I'm not sure I'm wiring them in right to keep the interface from messing with them. Working on a project boat now. So I hope to have ready by later this year if all goes well.

I'll be waiting...

Thanks for sharing. Its great to hear about the tow. Even though the world is a tough place I like to think that there are still a lot of honorable people out there. Thanks for representing the good! Glad you were rewarded with a nice catch of crappie too.
