gotmuddy Posted December 21, 2020 Posted December 21, 2020 I promised Jack I would take him fishing saturday since he could not come to jigfest. We stayed in the bunklodge at Riley's friday night, and now Jack wants to move there lol. I made some kolaches with jalapeno/cheese smoked sausage which were a hit. We made 2-3 drifts below buffalo shoals, and caught mainly small browns, on olive/ginger jigs, then fished around the island and caught a few more. After some mandatory exploration time on the island, we fished a little more then went around the other side of the island(I did not get hung up this time!). About this time Jack decided he had fished enough and was ready to leave. About 300 yards from the ramp I noticed a small bit of smoke and stopped to open the battery compartment and was greeted with acrid smoke pouring out. we beached the boat and got it on the trailer(felt like it took forever) and found my lithium starting battery had an internal short which caused nuclear meltdown. Too much excitement for one day. Quillback, JestersHK, nomolites and 6 others 6 1 2 everything in this post is purely opinion and is said to annoy you.
Terrierman Posted December 21, 2020 Posted December 21, 2020 Yikes! Glad it turned out the way it did.
fishinwrench Posted December 21, 2020 Posted December 21, 2020 Yep, that makes 7 so far, just that I know of. Nothing more frightening than being out on the water DURING WINTER in a boat that's on fire. "Fire Power"....... How appropriate. 🙄 gotmuddy and nomolites 2
Ham Posted December 21, 2020 Posted December 21, 2020 I hope you are able to get the battery replaced under warranty. I have heard of multiple lithium’s going nuclear. I’m glad you had an ok outcome, I appreciate you taking your boy fishing, gotmuddy, Johnsfolly and Daryk Campbell Sr 3 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish

Next week we are going to texas for a week and he will love it there. BilletHead and Johnsfolly 2 everything in this post is purely opinion and is said to annoy you.
jdmidwest Posted December 22, 2020 Posted December 22, 2020 Lithium had that problem in laptops, I guess the same on a bigger, 12 v scale. Guess the tree huggers will just have to learn to accept the lead for what it is, useful in many applications.
