    Default Stockton lemons into lemonade.


    Went back to Stockton and took my wife and daughter, everything started out great daughter caught the first keeper and to hear her joy was priceless than the trouble begins my daughter pulls up the seat and says is there suppose to be water in here? I go over and look and oh no hit the bilge pumps and they pump water out forever, I go back to fishing and bam the trolling motor cable breaks. Tie to a tree to check it out and my wife starts yelling and pulls in the second keeper. I go from a frown to a smile and think all this can be fixed so we tree hopped by me guiding the trolling motor by hand and hitting the bilge pumps every 5 minutes and picked up 7 or 8 more fish. Every time my wife or daughter would catch one they start in with the yelling and laughing. For all the mishaps this was a great day!:D Ended up with 4 keepers caught on minnows and white blue silver jigs.

    Not sure where the water is coming in from but it seems to be the flow rite auto mode on the passenger side live well.

    Check all your pumps for cracks. We had a live well pump crack on the Procraft I bass fished out of during a tournament and it was bringing in as much water as you could pump out. I think it was a half inch line and it was bringing the water in quick. We found it when trying to get on plane and water started coming out of the drain hole in front of the center seat. Glad they had a good time anyway.

    Called this morning and have an appointment Wednesday morning to have it and the rear transducer I broke off at Truman replaced (this one will be inside the hull). The guy I spoke with said they will replace the cable and rebuild the pedal and it will be back home Wednesday night.:D

    Sounds like a full day Tom. Glad you still had fun.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, rather to skid in sideways, body used up and totally worn out screaming 'WOO~HOO what a ride!'
