Default Going out Saturday

Don't know where I'm going but I know it's gonna be on the water... I need to try out my new 80# troller ... Going back with the cane steering this year and the first time ever going 24v. I have a feeling someone is gonna go swimming with this setup...

Ken, My wife and i went out wednesday to georgetown lake where we usually do very well in early spring. only seen a couple of fish. water just not warm enough during the day yet. hope you get out. I have a 60# 24v and really like it. it usually gets me through any tournaments with out changing batts.

Well I decided to go to Dawson today and it was pretty sad.... The water was plenty clear but I didn't see one fish!... Not even a bluegill!!!...

The wind picked up and I made two trips around the lake and decided to call it quits... Still ain't up...

should have went trout fishing. Snuffy took his two grand daughters and they all limited out. all 15 trout were between 12 & 16 inches. not bad for an old grand pop and a couple of girls.
