Yesterday trip (Friday)....fish left the spot I was catching on Thursday...so, I moved down to the pontoon bridge...found a tree top and got 4 off that plus a nice catfish....left and went about 50 yards and my motor beeper went off...I didn't want to take a chance and burn up my motor so I had to troll the 5 miles back to the public launch hoping to pick up a tow along the way....talked to some guy with his (wife, girlfriend?) in the Butte Larose Canal and when he found out I had put in at the public launch he didn't seem interested in helping.....I didn't ask, but sure was looking for a volunteer....took me close to 2 hours but glad my batteries held out.....

I googled the problem and did a visual today to look for anything obvious....didn't see anything...looks like a visit to the shop Monday....

I can not complain....fished 4 out of the last 6 days (that's a lot of Waffle House breakfasts)....I am Blessed....

Looking forward to D'Arbonne....
