Finally got out to test the boat. The fuel cap clog was the problem and the motor is running 100% now! Fished from a little after 8:00am and off the water by 3:00pm.

Morning pic:

Fishing was slow with water temps 49 to 51 degrees. Nice green water color. Leaves falling pretty good. Ran around and finally parked at the cliff. Got maybe 4 hits. One caught on the little swimbait and one lost on the tube. Nice chunk at 17" caught.

I was the only boat upstream that I saw. Chilly, but nice day out.

Glad the motor problem got fixed. Sounds like a simple enough fix...just needed to burp it!

Nice smallie!

Thanks again to George and my brother in law, Jimmy for guiding me as to where to look.

Good going on fixing the vapor lock

And the chunk

Was out there at about 0600 and didn't see you. It was chilly.

Not even the girls in yoga pants were jogging it was so cold

Yeah, I waited until it got to above 32 degrees. LOL.

I had a great fight with that fish. I had bent the small hook a couple times on snags and I did not want to horse it in. Had 10 pound braid on the ML 6'3' rod, with an 8 pound leader. Fish was head shanking like crazy and it shook it's head at least 3 times at the surface. I loosened the drag after I knew I had him hooked and it worked out well.
