Heading up tomorrow morning, need a break from all this chocolate milk in the rivers :D

Caught 5 this morning, kept 2 and a goggle-eye. Water temp avg. was 57.5 degrees. This afternoon produced nothing. Winds more significant today as forecast. Lizards up against trees. Tried deeper fishing but no dice.

Going in the morning. Will launch at Big Bass but will probably cross over to the Indian Mounds and Hurricane Bay. First trip this year so will probably throw the tackle box at them to figure out what they want!

Caught nice bass this morning but broke off on two good ones! Should of have 5 going 20 pounds easy! Morning bite was the ticket only managed three knot heads this afternoon!

What kind of pattern were you working, Crankbait36?

Shallow power fishing jig, brush hog, fluke.

My 5 best Sunday morning went over 23 pounds and I had one over 7lbs

I was happy to find that my two-day-old trolling motor would not work Sunday morning.
And this motor was a replacement from the factory to honor warranty work on a trolling motor I bought at the end of last April.
Ya think I wasn't feeling a little salty? Stubborn me, I motored out to the middle of the cove and let the wind blow me in while I push-poled and casted at the same time. Then, I gave in.

Sounds like motor guide issues

Don't get me started. They're sending me another one but I don't feel like I can trust it. The first one crapped out on me at Toledo, the second one did the same. Forgive me for lacking optimism with this one....

Punching hay grass perhaps?

trolling motor issue
 

t-boo

what kind of motor do you have? I had a minnkota 70sc model before. I had work done it four times until i finally sent it in for good. Minnkota did me right and sent me a nice brand new 80lb at no cost.

Anyone been to Toledo Bend lately?
 

Well, I have to give it to Motorguide. Their customer service reps are really great. Very understanding, willing to honor warranty commitments, quick shipment of replacement motors, and quick to return phone calls.
I bought a Vari-Max last April that all of a sudden wouldn't go forward. They sent a replacement (R3 model), but that broke after two days (head acting like it's not getting power).
They shipped a new R3 yesterday that should be on my doorstep this evening.

Sorry for the thread derail.

Hell no but not saying how I am catching them either

We have had that problem with the Vari max twice on my fathers boat! Now the dang thing is out of warranty and broke again so we put the old saltwater motor guide back on it! Something causes the boards to burn on the Vari-Max and then it only runs in reverse! Screw Motorguide

"Hell no?" Kinda sounds like you were flipping hay grass.. lol. My go-to is usually "banjo minnow in the river channel" when people ask and I don't want to tell.

Sshhhhhh!!!!!!!
