I went again on Saturday the 17th. Madi was mad that she didn't go Thursday since the weather was soooo nice. Anyways, go figure another tournament happening. Two Saturdays in a row with that luck. So I avoided them and hit other spots. Fishing was ~. The weather just straight up sucked! I swear the humidity was pegged at 100% at 5:30am. Plus it was like 85 already. I was sweating so bad my vision was blurred before my first cast/sunrise.
Caught just shy of 40. Nothing special at all. Worked hard for them. Spent a good part of the day swimming and doing our best to stay cool and alive. Multiple dips to cool off.
My trolling motor got hot on me or at least something did. Popped the fuse/breaker for it. Not so sure it was just the air temp. I'm betting the combo of the water temp (mid 80s) plus air temp that caused that overload. Plus I was tooling around on full power sight fishing. I have ran on full power for looooong hauls before when bed fishing (way cooler weather overall) and never a issue. I wasn't on it all that long before this issue hit this instance. Sure hope that is the case and nothing is wrong elsewhere. Re-set the fuse and went for a swim. It was fine the rest of the day but I took it easy on the power from then on out the rest of the day.
Not doing the 113 thing again. 10 degrees higher than our "normal" that day. Too dam HOT! Should of reloaded the boat up for trout fishing and headed to the Utah mountain lakes.
I also went down to check on the sunken B29. Couldn't see it for shiot. Dunno what is up with that. Last time I checked it out I got a ton of good Down Imaging pictures of it. Dunno if my transducer is showing it's age or the little I messed with settings for something that deep where not it. Maybe some of the last updates for my 898 changed things around. Dunno. I knew it was there just because but couldn't make squat out like last time.
