LOZ 10/01 On Fire

[polvo]

Literally

Have no idea about the fish since I apparently had a short in the back somewhere and the engine (honda 4-stroke) caught fire in the wiring before I even left the dock. Jumped out of boat and kicked water into the flame before any gas lines caught fire too. In panic mode jumped back in boat and yanked (broke out) the wires to battery to stop it as quickly as I could. Who knows what else is toast. Theres always next year.........

Heck, even talked with a guy that was crappie fishing by my dock and he said he wasn't having any luck. I told him about my debacle and said I could show him where the bigguns are bitting if he wanted to make a run over there I would jump in with him. He said not interested. I gave him directions anyway. I guess it's not in the cards for me to fish this year...had all sorts of issues..

Sorry to hear.
Was out for 4 hours this morning.
Managed 1 keeper and about 5 dinks.
Tried everything nothing really happening.

Glad you got the fire out before it destroyed everything! Maybe it won't be too bad!

[LSL Angler]

Do you think the starter stayed engaged? Was it just the wiring that melted. Hope its not too bad.

Sorry to hear about your boat. Manny I couldn't buy a legal fish yesterday. Caught dink after dink yesterday. Finally got tired of feeding them a half jar of niblets and called it a day.

Hope it is better than it sounds. Had a hard time finding keepers today also.

Dammit man just when we think we all have problems we see it does get worse.

Let me know when you want to go fishing. Only an hour or so from LOZ. I need a fishing partner, new boat and no fishing partner. You can guide me.
