Finally got to drive down to fish- but all I have to report is my own stupidity. I forgot that I had loaned the keys to the storage locker for the boat to my friend and his dad. When I got to Theodosia at 2AM (couldn't leave until after work Friday night), I didn't have keys to get to the boat to plug the troller batteries in. 

A couple hours nap in the back seat of the SUV, and I was on my way to Home Depot at Mountain Home for a big red key and a new lock. 

Got back around 7:30, got the boat out, got it plugged in, and started rigging up. Found the batteries were really really low. Another short nap, and at 9:30, saw they weren't taking a charge at all. At this point, I walked down to the dock and caught a solid keeper on an Arig.

Debated running back to Mountian Home to get new batteries, figured that noon was just too late to get started, so I pulled the batteries and headed home by way of Springfield, since I wanted to hit Sportsmans and Mexican Villa. 

Perhaps the dumbest thing was that I left a perfectly good bass boat with fully charged  batteries in the driveway at home, because I didn't want to tow it that far that late at night, since it hasn't moved in 4 months. I was too lazy to pull the batteries and bring them with me, even though I had that thought. Soooo, now I get to fish in the cold on Tuesday instead of in the nice weather we had yesterday.

I'm not always the sharpest knife in the drawer..

 

p.s.

saw a white nitro working channel swings around Theodosia, looked like he caught at least a couple, although he was moving pretty fast.

The things we go through to catch these green and brown fish! Hopefully you hammered them today!

I wussed out this morning. Snow and too darn cold. May try to run out to LOZ Thursday
