Got up this morning and the wind is rippin out here in bethel and they have wind advisory out, we had planned on 6:30 to 7:00 gettin on the lake but were gonna wait a couple hours and see if that wind dies off. They sayin that the wind advisory will be over at 8:00.
Hey larry, my hands will be all right im tuff, lol. Thats an awful lot of minnows to go to waste. I'll have some extra gloves. Well we'll keep yall posted. Wind wind go away don't come back ................ummmm at all. Good fishin yall.
John
Wow....where did this wind come from. I thought about you guys when I walked out this morning. Hopefully it will calm down later and you'll have a good trip. Be safe and good luck.
We finally got out about 8-8:30 and the wind did die down. Wind still blew all morning but not as bad as 6 this morning. Caught around 60 fish. Blacks and whites. Biggest was a white from specwicks dad . Caught most fish around 1 1/2 to 3 feet deep. No fish under 5 feet. Temp this morning was 32 and when we got off the lake was 28. But i know i could tell a difference. Water temp, dont know fish finder wasn't working. I would say ummmm cold. Great way to end the last day of the year.
ALL LIVE BAIT MINNOWS UNDER SLIP FLOAT
Well theres the post for the day i guess. Have a very safe and warm new years eve, and have a great new year also.
John
For once the weather men hit the time right on the nose. At 8:00, the real strong stuff stopped, just like they said. Good thing. Not sure when I was gonna be able to get back out and I would have been hard to live with if I didn't get the chance today. John, I wasn't sure how three guys in my boat would work out, but it went pretty well. We all caught a lot of fish and we my old man didn't school us too bad.Quote:

Good for you guys, glad to see the wind let up. I bet that was a long ride from the dam to clover. The wind seems like it's been worse this year that most years I can remember.
I hope nothing is to serious with the debth finder. I know those LCD's don't like super cold weather. I was at Weiss Lake years ago and the temps dropped to 13 degrees over night. I just put a new Lowrance x-15 mt on the boat. We kept the locator in the truck, wrapped in some blankets to help insulate it and to keep it out of sight. A week later, it died. The manual said it could handle temps down to 8 degrees but I always suspected the cold is what killed it. Luckily, Lowrance did replace the unit at no charge. That's one reason, I keep that old Eagle silent 60 flasher on the front deck of my boat, I don't think anything can kill. (but I have a spare....just in case)
And a Happy New year to all.
I've got a feeling it may be the battery. I have my electronics on a seperate battery from my trolling motor, and the cranking battery only powers the motor and livewell/bilge pumps. I can't remember if I've charged the one the fishfinders are hooked to the last few times out. I'm charging it now and gonna check later. I have the trolling and electronics batteries under the front deck and the cranking in the back. I have an onboard charger in the back, but have to use a portable charger for the two front. I've been putting off getting an onboard for the front, but it looks like I better do it before I kill a couple batteries. Looking at one of the Minnkota dual bank type. I hope that's the case anyway. The console finder has been dead a month or so and I've been saving for a Humminbird SI. If I have to buy two new ones and an onboard, the SI may have to wait. That would suck!
Anyway, hope all the hangovers out there are getting better. Happy New Year to everybody.
From the pics and posts I've seen on here that SI looks pretty cool. But, from the posts I've seen on here it may be way above my tecno-geek abilities:D. It took me 4 hours just to get a picture on a big screen TV. Long gone are the days you just plug it in and turn it on.
My first goal is to figure out how to post a picture on here. After that who knows.....
