[catchinon]

Yes, I charged the battery overnight. All I could find was an old basic unit so I didn't get much information. In fact, the analog gauge showed it little more charged than when I put it on last night, but we trolled all day with it. Lesson learned. I'll PM you about next week. We tried to troll west past the springs and orchards but the wind, which was surprisingly strong, pushed us around north so we set our course for the island and got there around noon. In fact the last fish we caught on the way there was during the closing prayer of Conference [angelic]. We only caught one on the trip back, which wasn't long since I wanted to get home by the second session.

I didn't try the new rod because I'm not familiar with it yet and didn't want to goof around with it. Maybe I can take three rods next time we go and test it out.

We stayed in that 9'+ depth we've been hitting. I used the two flaits with wb and Brett used a couple of sizes of Santee-Cooper rigs with both bass and perch for bait. The fish hit them all equally well. As for the luck of catching the big one I think it proves my plan: keep on catchinon and your turn will roll around sooner or later. I just wonder how many hundred fish I have to catch to get a 30"er. Exponentially more I guess. Next year my goal will be much higher and we will see. And this year isn't over yet.
