I got to give a shout out to Lifes2Short. Fished all day in the wind. Nothing to get excited about as far as catching fish. I had caught six Spots, and LM, and even though a couple were close, none measured. Water somewhat stained. Less as you went west and north of CC bridge at Greenfield. I seen water temps from 53.0 to late on the day in the back of a cove I seen 58.3 . Anyway, I had about 30 mins until quitting time. Took a break and looked at my phone. I seen Lifes2Shorts post. Just had not considered a spinner bait today? But I knew I had one tied on in the rod box and thought what the heck. So with 30 mins to go. 45 mins later I had caught a 13 inch spot, a 14 & 17 LM. None of them were in more than a couple feet of water when they bit. Thanks for sharing... Not to exciting for most people, but it made me smile.

On my way.

Sounds like you had to work at it today Dutch. What did the water look over around Turnback today?

Well my original plan was to go tomorrow and launch at Greenfield (CC). But now it's looking like Wednesday. Hopefully Pomme Friday?

I hear ya Jeff. It's not easy being an athletic supporter!😁

52.28 water temp. Nice and getting better!!!

You bet. If you don't mind, PM some date options and I'll pic one that works. My schedule is probably more flexible than yours. Thanks, Mike

Thanks, but i didn't get to do day two. I had a very manly list of honey do's to take care of. Which unfortunately included the fluffing of laundry< and the honorary scrubbing of the commode ! I had a much better day yesterday.

Great Walleye!!! Congrats.

killed his first carp when he was only three.

I just checked the tracker on day 1 shotgun round. I had to look at it for a while just to make sure I was seeing it right. The numbers are unreal!!!

Your right Mike. I have one of those weird looking run arounds for my cable. There was a time you could run it down the shaft for a neat looking installation. But when they added the lift assist, that killed that option. After the warranty is out, you could pull the lifts assist and do it. But I kind of like the assist.

I am of no help with that issue. But I find myself doing a lot of what Duane said.

Yes Steh. Mine worked with the US2 transducer. But didn't much care for the 2D. So like a number of people. I blew that off and went with attaching my own transducer. One thing I really enjoy about spotlock. Is when I have to retie. I need everything these old eyes will give me. I don't have to worry about where the boat is when I am trying to see that little hole and that invisible line.

I have had my Terrova for a year now. Pretty much works as promised. Spotlock isn't perfect, but pretty close. The Terrova is probably the lower end of Mk's smart motor, but I really like. Doesn't auto deploy, but does have lift assist. Here is the mistake I made when I bought it. To please my financial manager, I passed on the I-Link. Told myself that I wouldn't use it. Big mistake! If I would have made that purchase with motor. About $350.00, now realizing I would really like that feature. We are talking closer to $800.00 to upgrade. Probably isn't going to happen. But what do you expect from a guy who can't catch fish on an A-Rig! lol

Valid point!!!

I really enjoyed meeting you guys today and enjoyed the day. Thanks to all of you that made it happen. Mike

You people and your fancy fly rods. You probably got indoor plumbing too! sheesh!!!

Hate to ask the obvious. But sometimes we overlook the easy. Did you check the bulbs?

Great report Billethead. Sounded like a great day! That one fish in the last fish pic. Looks like one of Johnsfolly micro-lunkers.

Most have been there. I've been in a bit of a slump myself. Fish TR today. Worked hard at it. One little spot. But it's the fishing that keeps me coming back. Not the fish. Although I do enjoy catching them. I'll have my days... Besides what else am going to do at my age. Competitive needle point?

Man! That is a heck of a deal. Unfortunately I bought a new one last year. 😒

Yea!!! There is the money shot!!!

Still no joy. But I'll get it figured out eventually. Thanks guys...

You can't put a price on love. Go ahead and get her one! lol
