I had my boat in the shop and FINALLY got it back Friday and couldn't wait to go fishing. Decided Saturday that I would catch bait and fish Sunday to avoid the wind. Hit a couple of creeks and found a few mongos, moneymakers and several dollar bills. After I loaded up the tank I crashed a party that I knew about on the lake. After the party the wind seemed to lay down a touch so we thought we'd pull that creek. Started to put out a spread and my dang TM wasn't working right. Messed with it and couldn't get it fixed so we took it to the house. At this point I'm a tad bit P.O.'ed. After a few paint can cocktails (it's a BW thing) and several F bombs I went to bed at 130am without a fixed TM. Woke up at 5am and immediately went to work on my TM. Long story short....was on the water at 930. Took care of a nice tank of bait when I got to the lake and set out for a fish. Guess what? My dang TM wasn't working AGAIN. We did manage to get it going again and we put out a spread of mixed size baits. The wind was a PITA but we did manage a few decent fish in the 32" range. Didn't see many folks out but it was nice to be out(even with the small problems).
I had a ton of other "issues" on Saturday and Sunday that I have not shared. It was a helluva PITA but I FINALLY overcame many obstacles and put a few fish in the boat. HMU at the tourney weigh-in and I'll give you the best laughs you've had in a long time. GUARANTEED. PEACEOUT!!!!

hey man...there's always a spot on my boat for a gator...Lund2 and I were working the BW spots all weekend...next time grab some sardines/crackers and get over to silver creek. Glad you at least got on the water and put a few in the boat...heck...64-68" might win this thing next weekend if the pressure climbs like it did on Sunday.....( probably not)...but it's possible.
I will say this...I came down Fri AM to catch bait in advance of the gainfully employed Lund2's arrival Friday night. That's one favorite parental task of mine. I found my SBT2 pump was bad. Now for most of you guys that doesn't mean much....but for me, it's an astronomical problem, involving wires, fuses, connections, voltage, GPH's , ...all the stuff that's like rocket science to me.
I went and bought a new pump and actually wired that SOB on myself...had it purring like a cat in an hour. Good Lord was I proud of myself.
If you had called me for help with your TM...I would've texted you Ben McCall's number.
There's no shame in knowing you don't know.....not a bad motto to live by.....
