BASS LAKE

Lead acid batteries suck. No matter how good I take care of them, I get 3 to 5 years tops.  And I have 3. About to make the switch to lithium.

What brand battery was it AL?

[abishop]

Optima, I own 3. This 1 was bought about 3 years ago. I had 1 last 10 yrs. Buddy of mine has 1 for 12 years and still holding a charge. Wish I held on to the receipt because I think they have a 36-month guarantee. I am going to unhook it in the morning and put the charger directly on it, instead of using the trickle charge on boat. Then, taking it to get a true bench check before I go out and put another 300 into another one. Not something that needs to be addressed right away. I had 2 hooked up in parallel to get more reserve minutes. All I need to do is change a few wires around. Quick, cheap fix.

OK, how was the water level, it still looked down aiittle when we drove by mon?

Wasn't bad where I went. Stayed away from the shallow areas. Next time I will be able to slow troll and I will strike gold. I truly miss Shirley. They even took down the sign.

I only worry about ramp area and getting to the back area

2 feet all the way past marina. Only got a bit tricky by the buoys just before the beach area, Sand bar touched bottom for a second 1 foot.

I have fished it the last two nights , with one fish to show out of two nights ! Water is super staind . About 3 inches of visabilty. Alot of weeds floating as well . From gull point to the ramp 90 percent of what i found was 1.5 to 1.2 .motor touched quite a few times coming in both nights. Ypu can stay towards marina and go around in a lil deeper water bit the ski bouys at night can make a mess of a motor so i do the strait shot back after dark.

Think I got the battery figured out. Trying to spot walter on Bass in morning.

One thing is for certain, THE WEATHERMEN ARE NEVER RIGHT. There was supposed to be light winds this morning less than 10 mph. When we arrived just after 7 the winds were probably 20 mph. Tough day. I did score a keeper eye on a crawler harness and a couple crappies. We were the only boat on the water. After 3 hours we were frozen and called uncle.

Nice job, getting blown off down at Brookville, fished from shore it was so windy. 1 perch is it.

Nice day on the water. About a dozen other people must have thought the same. Ended up with 4 crappie, a bullhead and a white bass. Couldn't find walter. thought we were in for a banner day caught 1 before I could get 2nd rod out. Not to be. Thats fishin. LOL
