15 Minutes of Fun

Today I decided to take a day off and go through my boat since I haven't touched it in over 5 months. I found that my bilge pump was shot, both of my aerator switches are shot, bearings need to be replaced, a cat peed all inside the boat and used the bench seat as a scratching post, and the trolling motor wouldn't work! Man, I have some work to do before the fall bite starts. I did put it on Conway to test my replacement Lowrance and it worked good. I just happen to throw a rod in the boat that was rigged up from this past spring. I caught 5 crappie in about 15 minutes (without a trolling motor) before the wind made it too tough to move from tree to tree by pulling on cypress branches. Man I missed the thump! Now I need to work on the boat and get ready!
