Caught a few tonite. Boat trailer broke at fold away tongue.

[Sow tamer]

Caught 2 keepers and 10 shorts. No real pattern. Some shallow some deeper. Most were suspended with no structure close by.
Colors were red and chart, black and chart. Caught a few on minners.

Was on the way home and the frame of the trailer at the back of the fold away tongue gave it up. Only the 2" of the top held the thing together. Managed to raise it enough to get trailer jack to support it while we used a 5x5 timber and ratchet saps to hold together to get the thing home. It could have been real bad. If it would have broke in two the safety chains would have been of no use.

Glad you got it stopped before it got broken loose.
