Terrible day at the lake.

I got the boat out of the shop Thursday but had my brothers wedding to go to Saturday. With the wind I felt I should go to the wedding instead for the lake.
I went this morning early hoping the wind would be dead. It was blowing of course, I was using jigs and tried everything to get a fish just not in the stars for me I guess not a single crappie. I put in at Monterey park and fishe all of Phopers creek and even tried under the bridge for a while. Got discouraged when I stepped on the American Rodsmith rod and broke off the tip, one week old and $50.00. Boat ran great all day except for rough idleing and would not go into reverse very good. Well got to the ramp and it wouldnt start. Kinda a pisser especially after having it in the shop for the last two weeks.
I will be talking to the boat shop I sent it to about a fuel leak on the carb.
I know from now on I will have a couple a dozen minnows when I head out from now on.
I will also be fishing closer to home the gas for the truck was a bit more than I was used too.

Feel you pain. I rode up to Jackson Hill for a guide trip out of San Antonio and as soon as I got to the ramp, I could see the weatherman lied again. Sat there with the guide for about 3 hours hoping it would die down but never did. One guide (King) made it out in his boat (Center console) and came back in about 2 1/2 hours later with about 40 nice crappies. Don't know where he went but it was good to see the crappie were biting. Hope you get your boat working well.
