Ochlockonee river 1-10-04

It started out cold and got colder :o tried trolling for Reds and Stripers for about 2 hours with no takers, wind blowing, temp in the 30's :cry: Decided ta head into Cow Creek and try my luck with the Bass, fished as far up the creek as the falling tide would let me, cought around 20 Bass with 6 being keeper size, all on the Gold/Black Repala "not bad for a falling tide" :D Got back to the ramp and said SH!T, the tide had fell further than I thought, back the trailor in and proceded ta run the boat up the trailor, the motor stalls and I slide back down :-? crank up and try again, same thing "the motor has never stalled before", I look back at the motor and it and the back of the baot is partially submerged :o crank up again and power up till the motor is almost to submerge again, hop out and connect the winch, jump back in and shut down the motor, then procede to winch the boat up the incline 8) I love putting in at Cow Creek, but the steep angle at low tide can be a Biatch :hammer:

That trip sounds like what I expected Sat. fishing to be like. Glad I stayed home and worked on the boat. :thumbup: :thumbup:

That's the ramp I get hung on on low tide. I won't put in there again. Had to drag my trailer frame over the crest of the ramp last time I launched there.
What was I supposed to do today?
