Tough couple of days on Truman

One evening and one morning on the lake fishing from 18 FOW to 30 FOW and fishing was tough! We decked 50 dinks in total, 7 nice keepers, 3 fat catfish and one Large Mouth Bass. We tried jigging trees, rigging flats, ridges, creeks and where ever I could find and the keeps were just not active. I really want to try pulling cranks one of these days. I love being out on the water and 7 keepers will feed the 3 of us. No complaints, just fishing!

BTW Friday evening was not such a good idea with all the boat traffic. I thought my bed was rocking most of the night afterwards. LoL Foot on the floor took the rolling motion away.

Anthony my Brothers were out Thursday Friday and Saturday morning and struck out. I trolled about 30 inutes 2 white bass and 1 nice crappi then the trolling motor batteries needed charging.

Definitely tough fishing!

I did get a few things sorted on the boat.

1. Finished cleaning up after a mouse made a home in my boat. No droppings left and no urine smell blasting me in the face when O open the lockers.

2. Cleaned the spilt Dr. Pepper and a few spots of minnow guts.

3. Finally took the plunge and cut my trolling motor shaft down. Measured once, twice and five more times. Decided I was good and proceeded. 18" underwater and 6" to spare.

4. Time with my Co-angler Amy. She wanted pictures of the bad fish that ate my crappie minnows. [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]Attachment 404752Attachment 404753Attachment 404754Attachment 404755Attachment 404756Attachment 404757Attachment 404758

I will have to remember the foot on the floor deal

Well you got out and some nice pics to post!

Minn Kota really needs a 90* cord that comes out of the head. Because it pushes that coil straight down, it wants to wind itself tight around the base in spotlock mode.

The cord comes out like that so it’s not stressed when stowed.
A little wind sure helps the spot lock from spinning up.
Garmin has a sensor and won’t turn a full 360. It shuts the prop off and spins back crazy fast and turns the prop back on. Kinda seems noisy to me though.

Ah, I didn't think about the stow stress. I know it has that sensor, but now that it's lower, it's annoying. Hanger of some sort will help.
