Reply With QuoteGlad to hear you made it back safe to the good ole USA. Nothing like being out of the country for a while to realize how good we have it here. At least you made it back on the water for a couple of trips before the rain moved in.

Glad to be back on US soil and water - late report
I spent the last month in China and am glad to be home.
Got on the water Saturday and had to hunt hard for them. Finally found some in about 4 ft casting a jig. Water temp was 60-61. Landed 15 small ones. Nothing picture worthy.
Got out early Sunday and outboard (9.9 Evinrude) was hard to start and barely ran when I did get it started. Only thing I did was top off the gas so I suspected bad gas from the station.
Stayed close to the launch with the TM. Couldn't find any bites on the jig so I gave up and went to my favorite sunfish bait Rebel cricket hopper. Caught a few sunnies just to keep me occupied. Also managed 5 small crappie so the day was no a full waste.
Headed home mid day to troubleshoot motor. Even though I just rebuilt the carb two months ago I pulled it and cleaned everything again. Seems to have fixed and it runs like a champ in the driveway. Rain is driving me nuts as I want to test it in the water. Hopefully soon.
In any case glad to be home and fishin again.

I was in Shanghai so It's a lot like NYC or LA except you can't read the signs, the food is way different and you are one of the tallest people around. Plenty of fish on the menu except it is usually staring back at you when served.Originally Posted by TapOut64
