night fishing

[latravcha]

Just getting back to the house we did not make it out. Made it about six miles down the river and the motor started acting like it has trash in the filter. Tried cleaning the one I can get to with no luck. At first the motor would idle for 2 or 3 minutes then kill. About half way back to the ramp it would not do that. Had to put the troling motor in for the rest of the way back. I'm going to tear it down tomorrow when I get home and see what's up. At least it did it early in the trip and not when we were in the gulf.

Glad you made it back safely.
