PUSHED MINNOWS ON LAKE OCONEE TODAY AND NEW TROLLING MOTOR OBSERVATIONS 8/7/17
Jim and I fished Lake Oconee until about 1:30 today. We pushed minnows and jigs and kept 4 fish. The bite for us was SLOW! Painfully SLOW! We marked lots of fish on the timber but they weren't liking what we were doing. In the past we have done well pushing minnows in August but I guess we are out of practice.
I tried out my new TM today for the first time. It is a Minn-Kota Terrova 80 lb thrust with Ipilot. It worked great. At supper tonight my wife asked me what I liked the most about the new TM. I told her the LCD Remote that displays the mode you are in such as cruise, spot lock, auto pilot, target speed, and the actual speed. It also has a Rabbit function which can get you out of trouble or in trouble in a hurry. So far so good.
On our trip home this afternoon we spotted a 4 foot timber rattler dead in the road. We were in Putnam County at the time about 2 miles from Green Glades Dairy on Glades Road. Be careful out there!
