Bigcountry’s 2023 fishing journal

[Bigcountry40]

Took the cover off the 16ft today, had the 2 stroke purring after a few minutes. I currently have no power to switch board meaning no lights, bilge pump or fish finder, I’ve checked the fuses and moving on to other possibilities. I got a few more week until the “spring jig”. Then it’s on to summer perch and walleye on the lake.

Rodents get to the wiring? Hot wire should go directly to that distribution panel. Can you pull the panel and check for power? Does it have a master switch on it?

I’ve checked for a rodent wiring all looks good, rather than tear it apart my buddy I bought the boat off of who wired it is going to come over and take a look and see if we can figure it out. I bought some battery powered lights for night fishing this spring. All I really care about is the fish finder and the pump.

Also my boy told me today that using the fish finder is cheating. I told him I need all the help I can get

Picked up 5 jigging few days ago, only caught one with my boys Saturday. Everybody is switching to trolling

 

[Fletch]

Keep at it... I'm sure we'll see a full cooler soon... Time spent with the boys is what it's all about....

I'd rather jig 5 than troll my limit anyway...

 

[Bigcountry40]

Out of the woods at 12, so we went to the Ohio River

 

[Bigcountry40]

Just leaving now caught over 30, threw em all back
