I took my wife fishing at Old River this morning. This was our first fishing trip together without kids in at least 6 years so just getting to fish with the boys at home with a babysitter was a treat. We got to the launch around 7. Started fishing the north bank in 11 fow with shiners with no luck. Had a few bites but couldn't find them. Took off to the ballpark to try to catch some bream and spent the rest of the morning there. Besides one tree, all the fish were scattered. Only ended up catching 4 keepers but threw back at least 15 more and had a few get off or hung up in the flooded timber. We caught them all in 4-5 fow on crickets. Stopped fishing around 11 and grabbed a bite to eat at Not Your Mama's Cafe in Livonia on the way home. Definitely planning to do it all again. As a plus, the weather couldn't have been much better for a July morning.
Only negative is that I think my carbs need to be cleaned or rebuilt. Motor wouldn't stay above 3500 rpm and took off slow. Any advice on this issue would be appreciated.
