Saturday Morning Reds and Almost Trout

Post by Reel Slow »

Slipped Doggie Style off the trailer at 6:40 with a plan to fish reds till 9:30 and trout thereafter. My trainer is weaning me off the reds slowly :lol:

Hit old new spot and quickly landed 2 slot reds, one for the cooler then went exploring. Ran to a spot I had picked out from an aerial and it was pretty darned good. Feeling the thump thump of a red poppin a lure at a new spot is great, feeling 5 over slot reds is dang near priceless.

Landed a 28, then 27, then 30, then a really big boy latched on and ran my but all over the place. Its first run was about 30 yards....a solid 34"red. Whew. Finished out with another 28 and a 26 then a pup, then hauled buggie, it was 9:22...

Got my fix.

First drift nada, turned and began my run out to a new area when the motor shut off...trim dead....dang....Pulled motor cowling and noticed some melted plastic...not good....

Trolled in over the next hour and a half and picked up a couple decent trout 18" ers.

Replaced fuse, plastic went to melting and motor smokin....Something is shorted out....Bummer :thumbdown: .

Luckily if BD don't wreck his boat this weekend I've got a ride next sat :beer:

Hope to see y'all at Inky

Nice report and some awesome reds. To bad about the scout. Maybe you can get it off the DL before game time, however, I don't think there is much that could keep BD from taking that nice shiney new boat for the tourney.

I wondered what happened. I got a slow start and didn't get to the sandbar until 12:45 and nobody was there. Didn't have a rod or reel on board, just a big ole tub thingy for the youngin's to ride in. They rode that sucker for over 2 hours. I'm having withdrawal symptoms :o :-D

Good catchin. :thumbup:

I would rather have something mechanical than an electrical problem. Sometimes they're near impossible to trace. Hope everything works out OK.
What was I supposed to do today?
