Anyone know someone who practices warding off of bad luck?

Bob and I met for breakfast in Centerville and proceeded down 29 and 15 to go get my boat. Everything is fixed:

- Water in the fuel issue is resolved....we found the culprit.

- New transducer installed (the one that came in the box was bad) so I now have water temp reading.

- All the lights work.

So...after a 2 hour ride down and then another 2+ hour ride to the ramp, we got on the water by 1pm.



Water temps was 63 and it went up a few degrees during the afternoon.

Here is where I need the medicine man. As we went upriver using the trolling motor, I stayed right, forgetting about some rocks that I hit with the TM last Wednesday. I hit them again today. this time, I broke one of the blades of the TM prop. Really?

Two good things: 1. Cabelas has them in stock 2. the TM ran great (a little rough) with only 1 blade. This is a really good unit.

OK, we get to the spot and I proceed to hammer the shad while Bob watched (at 1st). But once he got into the rhythm, he did great and most likely finished with more than me.

I bet we caught 60-70 shad, maybe more, I doubt less. We had many doubles and I had two at a time once.  Also caught a huge crappie that got off as i tried to hoist him in the boat. We both said that Curly would have jumped in after it!

We had a blast!
