Banana boat floats again and put me on fish.
Everything around home is in pretty good condition so I made an early morning decision to load up and head for Willard. I put in at the south marina close to 0800 .
I took it easy going out the channel hoping to pick up something, no deal. Once out I turned north playing around with different depths looking for the bite. I got the first hook up in 13', just a short distance further I hooked up again. Made a few cranks and thought to throw out the marker. I kept playing around my marker until I had six cats on the stringer. That hole went cold so I gathered up the marker and continued north. A few minutes later I hooked another. About that time Tin Can come by to say hello after a few words he told me it was after 1000. I figured I could find one more to add to the stringer on the way in. Bingo! that made eight. I secured the paddle and cranked up the motor and headed back in.
Every time I use the fish cleaning station I want to hug the crew that put it in. It is so nice not to have to take the mess home. Thanks to Utah State Parks.
Coming in I thought I could smell over heated motor or wires. The smell dissipated so I forgot it. When I got close to the ramp I reached down to disconnect the cable from the battery and the clip was so hot I got second degree burn on my thumb.
When I got home and put the charger on I noticed the insulation on one of the wires was melted next to the clamp. Have any of you had that kind of experience? What should I be looking for to correct the problem?
