Fishing trip was interesting. First day out my buddy George's s Evilrude (Not a spelling error) 115HP Ficht took a chit 3 miles down the flowage. Our best guess is that it's a power head issue? Good thing he has a great trollong motor (24V, 70 pound thrust Minkote). We limped back to the cabin, recharged the batteries and went fishing.
Even though we lost the big motor, we managed to boat some fish. Caught some nice crappies and Perch. Only kept 2 Walleyes. The rest were to small to keep as were the Northerns.
We hit peak color up North and had great weather. A couple of very windy days, but we used the islands to stay out of it.
George is on his way to the Evinrude dealer to buy a new ETEC as I write this. Expensive trip for him.
Be home for a week than the wife and I are going to head West. Going to see her brother in Utah and than on to Oregon to see our son and his family.
Tom, sorry to hear about your friend.
