Went out west today to one of the city supply reservoirs. I got on fish pretty fast and landed one at 9", 6 at 11" and one at 12". That was it. My trolling motor died right after that and I didn't carry an anchor today. I tried to use the gas motor at a few stops, but it was for nothing, just too windy. I started with BGBS in Cajun cricket and caught my fish on that. I didn't get a chance to really experiment. My fish were in 2-3 FOW and I was fishing the jig under a cork. I think I could have done some damage today, but it just wasn't meant to be. By the way, it appeared all but one of the fish were male. One of the 11" fish had a gut that would lead one to believe it was full of eggs.

Nice going, hope you get your motor straight, or was it a battery problem?

Batteries are fine. All other electrical devices on the boat still work. In-line fuses are good. I couldn't find any loose/broken/bent/damaged wires anywhere. I believe the issue is somewhere in the foot pedal wiring. It's all under warranty, so I'll have to get it out to Tom at Motor Tech. Probably something simple I'm just not seeing.Originally Posted by Anchor Man

Tom will get ya fixed. I found some decent fish Saturday, water temp was 61, they were in 10 feet of water, fat as footballs.

Nice fish!

I had a similar issue a couple of years ago and it turned out the fuse holders were corroded??

Mine turned out to be a tripped breaker, the one right at the battery. I didn't even know you can simply reset the dumb thing. That would have been good info to have the day it happened - I could have kept fishing. It was a 40 amp and wasn't enough for when I was going on high speeds. Tom replaced it with a 60, so no more issues there. At least I learned something.
