Ok, so events this past couple of years (marriage, moving, new baby 5 weeks ago, etc) have drawn me far away from the amount of fishing my ID on here would indicate. Anyway, I haven't had my boat out since last July. We are planning on finally hitting the berry this friday.
The boat had several problems last july, so we didn't get far from the marina (main engine would bog down and die when you punched it, but we think we narrowed it down to bad gas and gummed carb).
Anyway, hoping that this is fixed and we can get around on the lake, can anyone give me some pointers on how / where to finally get into something? From reading the posts on the board, it appears jigging is the method of choice right now. Unfortunately the only experience I have with this is ice fishing and a little bit at night from the boat well after dark when the water is calm and I have a glow in the dark jig.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, if anyone else is going up that knows any good areas, we would love to hook up (no pun intended).
However, if the boat still isn't running well we will probably end up putting around the marina area with the trolling motor hoping we luck into something.
