Put the dang trolling motor battery in the van and your questions will be answered!!!

That is a damn fine point you are making there Mr. Green Trout Whipper!!!

Success!!!... we have brainwashed another Canuckian!!! ... I've got a Loggerhead... does that count???

He was jesting you Dude!!!... they're toast too!!! go buy a new battery and consider yourself fortunate that you paid $50 for a trolling motor that runs!!!

Yeah Buddy!... that's why I suggested putting the trolling motor battery in the van earlier... to see if it turns it over!!!

You shoulda been fishin'! ... I heard someone hooked a Great White!!!

Wear your PFD... operate a console... and wear your kill switch... much safer!!! ... and ya look a helluva lot better going down the river that way!!!

Come on down Bubba! I'll take you to my favorite spot... not the dam, nowhere near the dam!!!

Yeah, they sell real beer and ales here... we use them for mouthwash!

2 amp is for maintainence, 10 amp is to recharge. try your trolling motor battery in the van.... the process of elimination doncha yanno! Your battery should have a year and month sticker on it with the year and month it was bought punched out.

How old is the battery?... have you checked the fluid levels?... you may have a broken post. It's not really worth worrying over, go buy a new battery unless that one is still under warranty. Try the 10 amp rapid charge, your charger may be crapped out as well. You may also want to take the battery out of your van and try the trolling motor battery in the van.

Beer is for pregnant women and small children!!!

Excellent report and pics John!!! Well worth the wait! This pic says it all!... I guess hanging out with the Lew and Pete guys rubbed off on ya eh!!!

Get a photobucket account, it's so easy the pics almost post themselves!!!

Try not to be such a butt-smoocher N-ree!... flattery will get you nowhere with me big boy!!!

Hey now!!!... dats me mudder!!!

Might as well be using a Beetle spin eh?!!!

Throw the Lizard dude!!!

... and the baaaaaaa of goats too!!!

I always thought Spiel was the pretty one!

Micropterus Coosae (Red Eye Bass) has orange fins and tail. They're native to the Coosa River that I fish and have been stocked elsewhere. http://myfwc.com/WildlifeHabitats/Freshwat..._RedeyeBass.htm

btw... I take my own tackle when fishing charter or party boats, party boat rods and reels are usually crap and charter boat's are only a little better. I know y'all were using your own rods and reels, but I like to use my own terminal tackle too... namely a red circle hook (3/0-5/0), that way when the big fish tangles lines and is brought into the boat with my red circle hook in his mouth there's no question as to who's fish it is! Charter boats aren't too bad, but there are fish thieves on party boats!

na na na, that aint me!... they haven't made enough rum in the world to get me into one of those contraptions Bubba!

Don't be afraid to throw some topwater lures in black color around those reeds... I'm serious!

Walleye on topwater at night isn't that uncommon. Here's a pic of my favorite sociopath holding a nice one he caught on a Hula Popper last September on the West Arm!
