Thread: Louie Revisited

After readjusting the flywheel shroud on my Evinrude,
I was pleased when it started easily and ran great!!
Can’t say the same for my trolling motor. Wide open 24 volts or nothing!! I put a new potentiometer in it, but there are two. The one in the foot is apparently bad. I think it’s Riptide time!!
I intended to go to Old River Vidalia, but the parking lot was full. So back to Louie. Started out slow, then tried a spot further from the landing. Started catching crappie. I could see lots of fish, most of which weren’t crappie. I still can’t look at a blip on the screen and say “that’s a crappie “. Saw some carp, buffalo, or gou that were at least two feet long. Found lots of cover around places I usually fish that I didn’t know was there. Kept 7, threw back 5, and let 5 get off before I got them in the boat.
Livescope complicates fishing!! Lots more to buy, bring, and adjust. The up side is it answers many of the questions. Like how deep are they? Where are they on this sunken tree? Kinda like jumping on a train and not knowing where it is going.
