    Default good day gone bad


    Headed out to the navagation channel near Inola to do a little fishing. Found a couple of spots with lots of promise, water temp is 53 degress so the action was extremely slow. I started to head back and while I was passing a barge my lower unit gave up the ghost. Took me 3 hrs and 3 batteries to get back.

    That stinks Kelly! You should keep my number in your phone. I woulda come out there and towed you back in. Jake and I are putting in at Bluff around 8 am tommorrow. Oologah has been sporadic. Two days ago, cleaned 24, yesterday, only two keepers, today, 14 keepers. Biggest so far has been around 2 lbs.

    You would think so. I looked through 2 of my parts catalog and cant find what i need. Ive got another motor on the shop floor that needs tobe rebuilt, that will probly be cheaper. The other problem is Im to dang busy fixing everybody elses boats to deal with my own. Cheap gas and low water, Im betting on a lot of work this year.
