Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Paul and I met up at 6:00a in hopes of getting a half day in.

We splashed the boat, took off and an engine beep comes on. Overheating...no pee! We tried to see what the deal was including taking the boat out of the water but we cold not make it pee. Called Jim down at JRJ and he said, bring it in.

So...do we quit or use the trolling motor? We opted for #2 and headed over to the ledges which we worked really hard!

It was muggy for sure....



...but we had a light breeze that helped out.

Here is the picture story....











That 18 incher was a brute!

This one was special, even though it was "only" a 14 incher. Paul called out the rock and bam!



All told, we caught 8 smallies and a long ear BG!
















Well, Paul caught them all. I just guided him to the fish!

We took out early so I could get the boat into the shop to see what the deal was. The ramp at Algonkian is really silted in and I think I sucked in some junk which clogged the water pump. Let's hope that's all it is. Gonna need to figure out a better way to splash the boat with all of that silt.

Anyway, we made lemonade out of lemons and had a good few hours in before the heat moved in.
