Just got back from Mtka. Ist time out and I discovered my trolling motor doesn't work. The foot control turned the motor at 1st , the prop didn't spin and it made a clicking noise inside the base. Then it went completely dead- no noise or turning.I checked the battery when I got home and it's at 80%. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm at a loss. Should I take it in somewhere or isn't it worth it??
Finding plenty of fish around the area lately. Water on most of our area lakes and rivers is very high. Most of the panfish have moved from those back bay areas and are staging for the spawn. You can find the pannies tucked in the weeds right now close to those spawning beds. Casting small jigs without a float to pockets of vegetation or to outside the pencil reeds has been working well.
headed up to the northland tomorrow morning. first trip of the year open water!!!!👍 looking so forward to it. my brothers been up there all week....he should have all the dumb ones caught......time for me to chase the smarter ones!!!!!!!🤣
First open water fishing this morning. Planed to go to Clearwater but water was 6 inches over docks. Drove over to Sylvia/Twin and access was great. Water very clear, could see bottom in more than 12 ft. Caught several sunfish and bass. 2 northerns and a crappie. Most went back including a 9.5 in male sunny. Beautiful fish. Most caught in less than 3 ft water. Temp was 61.
