3/17/2008 10:27:00 AMNice to hear that Greenlake's fish are starting to wake up.. Congrats on your new folding boat too.
Just thought I'd mention that I'm not sure what type of electric motor you've got, but if it's a Minn Kota, as is mine. I've got the 55lb thrust and it was new last year.
I don't trust the little meter on top which tells you how much charge you've got. I've got a proper charger, and I can charge it until the charger itself says it's full,
and then after 10 min on the lake, the little reader on top of the Minn Kota might say 3/4 full, then a few minutes later it's full again, and then few min. later it's 1\4 full. All over the place.... but it hasn't left me on the lake ever.

3/17/2008 11:32:00 AMI also need to correct one part of my report... I was trolling up the *east* shore from the boat houses. It was windy as well. Dont know water temp, depth, troll speed since I did not bother to try to get my overkill fishfinder working on the first time out. I did speed up my troll, before I got the action.
The triploid took some nice jumps, took my light rod tip into the water several times, and went under the boat. I use 4 lb line so don't horse big ones around. I picked it up out of the water by the shaft of the lure, held it high so the folks on the nearby dock could see it, and then it shook itself off, right on cue. My daughter says she got a strike while holding the rod as we headed in, but no hook up. It was great to be liberated from the shore.

3/18/2008 5:46:00 PMToo bad, trolling seems to be the ticket for me on that lake.
Oh well, I can't say I don't need the exercise. I guess I will keep rowing.. and a steady supply of Alieve!

3/29/2008 3:57:00 AMI don't mind this lake but I don't like how the rowing teams and other casual canoes will for whatever reason row as close to shore as they can. I got blasted semi for not having a life-vest on a boat on a lake and here these rowers ... oh well another whine for another time.
