I went out of Callville the other day with Sil240. Rough day out there.
I started the day out like a genius. Launched the boat at 6:15am only to find that I couldn't start my outboard. After 20 minutes or so of messing with it, I gave up and decided that we would still fish, just using the trolling motor.
We pulled out of Callville at break-neck speeds and begin fishing the north side of the bay. Sil is tossing a jitterbug and gets a blowup, but the fish misses. I toss an x-rap to the spot and pull in this little guy.

About 2 hours into our day, Sil240 says, 'does that thing have a gas shutoff switch?'
[unimpressed]
So, my motor starts right up as usual, and we continued to fish til noon or so when we were tired of the abuse the fish were putting us through.
We tossed hardbaits all day, mostly cranks, for nothin.
Sil and I were gonna hit Willow this morning, but he blew out his elbow lastnight and we called off the trip. I may get out for some bass fishin' tomorrow. Say hi if you see the red dodge dakota towing the aluminum can.
