Sorry for the lack of reports, but I haven't actually fished on my own boat since Labor Day Monday with Yam. My motor had some issues and I got the parts about 2 months ago, but finally got around to fixing it yesterday evening. Made a quick bait run and nailed about 60-75 9-14" baits before dark.
My friend Brock and I hit lake about 7 and didn't have much luck the first hour or so - couple dinks. Around 9 or so, we put a few 12-14lbers in the boat and I told Brock let's get out of here, I want a stud - normally that's a dumb move, but today it worked like magic. Hit a spot I thought there should be big fish (which usually means no big fish), but within a couple minutes, we had that fat girl below in the boat. We put two more dinks in the boat and with my trolling motor batteries all but dead about 11:30, we decided to make one more drift with the wind by the same spot and apparently her sister was hanging out also and choked down a 14" bait. Caught one more about 15 and spent a couple hours working on the shed tank to finish off the day.
After 5 years, it's time for new trolling batteries I guess - been milking these along for years. Not a bad first trip of 2017 for the boat - 2 citations - all down hill from here.
