Went to the "mudhole" this morning

[bamabassman]

well folks....my dry spell is over with. went to the lake this morning...weiss lake,lol.

got there JUST as the sun was about to pop up. had everything lined up and ready to go. trolled out across form the launch into this little slew off of the man made channel. started slinging the spro frog, lizzard and power worm along with chunking deep cranks in the channel. nuthin....usual day already....

then i decided to tie on a ZELL ROWLAND POP-R, the only one i have (if you know where i can get a few more, let me know ASAP.

after about 30 mins i land a little dink, 8 inches. then about 15 mins later....A KEEPER! chunky thing too. then after another 15-20 mins..another keeper. hey, i am on a pattern here i say to myself..hmmm.

so after i got so far back in the slew i knew i had to get out cause it was getting REAL shallow. so i step on the trolling motor pedal to turn around....the pedal is jsut flopping back and forth. what the ?!?!

i look down. the cable is off....OH CRAP!!!! is it broken?!?! where is it? where is the cables? can't see em and ain't got nothing to unscrew the pedal off the floor. CUSS,CUSS...AND MORE CUSS!!!! I WAS ON A PATTERN!!!!

so after trying to find the cables as best i could without sucess i PADDLE all the way to the launch. over 100 yards away. no i didn't fire up the oputboard..because i didn't put in any gas. yeah, i know what oyu are thinking. but anyways....

so after loading up the boat and strapping it down i head home. YES I THREW THE 2 KEEPERS BACK IN. too tired to clean em.

i get home and am so tired i take a little nap....wake up 4 hrs later,. more tired than i thought,lol.

i go out to the boat, still cussing under my breath. (well not really but it sounds good anyway,haha) i grab the drill and take out the screws holding the pedal to the floor.

THERE THEY ARE, BOTH CABLES! IT AIN'T BROKE!! JSUT CAME OUT!!

so i put em back where they are supposed ot be. back it beside the shop. plug it up. truck is still hooked up to it.

watched the weather this evening. supposed to be overcast and muggy int he am. showers and possible storm or 2 by noon. winds getting up to 20-25 mph too. so...would OYU try it in the morning? i'm thinking i am if it looks ok when 5 am rolls around.
