6-7-19 Baxter Area

Had a pretty good day with Neds around Baxter.   Stayed within trolling motor range of the Baxter boat ramp due to some technical difficulties.   Fished from 6 to around 2:30 and ended the day with right at 30 fish with 10 keepers.  Had 2 on topwater and 2 on swimbaits and the rest were all victims of ned.  Most fish were in 10-20 ft range with a handful in less than 5.  Had a couple that were pushing 3 lbs but most were in the 13” to 16” range.  Color of ned didnt seem to matter.

Despite the boat malfunction it was a very good day on the water.

Those are some nice fish! Adapt and overcome!

awesome!  hope that your learned a lesson.  and, that lesson is we often pass up bass because we do not fish through enough and pull the trolling motor up and race off to another spot.  having to just fish what is in front of you can really be a learning experience.

many of us learned that because we started out fishing a pond or wading the creek.

great job!

What happened to the big motor?

wrench has had enough downtime since the XR6 fix.

Something came loose in the lower unit and ground up some gears.  Its a 1985 and has never had any work done on it up to this point other than routine maintenance.  I am the 3rd owner and know the previous two owners.  Hopefully I can find a new lower unit and keep her running for a bit longer.
