Well the motor left me stranded last night in 3 ft waves. Took me about 3 hrs to trolling motor back to the launch. I believe it's a high pressure fuel pump issue. If I can get it fixed by then, I'll let you know and get you out on the water

Well boat finally got "fixed" and I picked it up Saturday. Last week worked 96 hrs so Sunday wanted the day to fish alone. Boat ran great out to the spot, 4 miles or so. Fishing was great boated over 50 walleye in about 6 hrs. Caught them lindy rigging, jigging and bobber fishing watching them on the live scope. Kept 6 between 18-20 inches. After using the trolling motor for the entire time fishing, go to fire up the tiller and it bogs down and dies. Another 4 hours running the trolling motor back to the launch. Fortunate it's under warranty. Bummer of a day but fishing was great landed one about 7 lbs too

50 in 6 hours is great. Boat issues really put a damper on a great day though. Hope you get it fixed quickly.

Someone said 4 inches in the past week, more expected this weekend. A few roads, including county roads that are asphalt ended up with sink holes. Lakes are the highest I've ever seen in the 30+ years coming to the area and now living here. Several people lost trees Tues night

[smurfy]

Heard that too. Also heard 38 was closed for a but north of rapids due to flooding. 

 

I know the water really came up when I was up last week compared to when I was there in April.

Nice fish Kettle. Hope it's really "fixed" next time.

Highest I can recall seeing water. I know any lake that is river fed with a river downstream are intentionally holding water with their dams to prevent any additional run off into the Mississippi down state. Has made fishing interesting finding fish in new areas. Weeds are coming up and we've found walleye on inside weedlines in some very shallow and peculiar areas. Many docks underwater and see sections floating here and there

[smurfy]

yea its going to be interesting to see the changes when i get up there!!!!!
