So I went out Sunday morning.....got to the lake at 530am to find 15 boats lined up and waiting to launch. It was a bass tourney, so no biggie rigged my boat while I waited. Launched the boat and got my baits in the water and 10 mins later hybrid boated. I marked those fish and was going to go back through them with the electric on (stealth mode).
Well that didn't work cause the battery had no juice!

charged it all week on trickle charger. So I decide to go back to the gas and motor won't turn over! Try my third battery on boat and nothing also. WTF. Good thing my 9.9 is also a pull start. I get back on the troll but it ruined me for the day.......my mind was on possible bad batteries.
I managed two more hybrids and a small catfish 20". I had to fish the day with only one fishfinder (I know poor Bicey). It made me realize how dependent I am on my electronics.....kinda sad lol. The fishing has slowed a bit at SR from talking to a few older fellas who fish during the week. Fish were mostly deep 15 - 25 ft.
Took all three of my batteries to my mechanic who tested all three.......they were all bad.......what are the friggin odds of that! One of them was only 4 months old and is warrantied.
Anyways.....tight lines fellas
