That just really stunk!...Well I suppose it was a gear checking outing anyway. I have been using the 225 ultras for 5 years and never burned one out....Last night we burned 2 up within 10 min....other than that I did find out I needed another trolling motor plug. For some reason it pretty much melted straight off. Ended up having to push pole out of the last cove ...

To top the entire night off, the water visibility was around 3 inches if you were lucky, saw about a dozen fish. The only fish that was brought in was a green one..... On the good side of it was that I stuck 3. One pull off, one rock fish, and one green one. I guess the "Thunder Chicken" did it's job!
