I told my son Adam, we would go fishing 6-7am. Facebook PM’d each other at 6am I said we would leave at 7. At 7:20 I call him and he had fallen back to sleep.
It was cloudy and one boat was already leaving the launch area for home. Otherwise there were many rigs in the lot. We launched and started fishing about 9am. Adam got the first trout. In 30 minutes the electric quit working. So he got the kicker started for me to get a trout in. We had several bites. But Adam had an appointment so we left at 10:15am.

I guess we could say it was a test for the electric motor. Batteries charged, plug has full volts, water in battery, remote says batteries are low but testing them says not. Motor just shuts off. It took a bit for me to get it stowed because it kept turning off.
The water temp was 67.6. If we have a hot summer this lake will be very hot.
I was from 10-24 feet on the downrigger. Had bites at both levels. Corn was bait but watching my video my lower rod ( green and black lure) with a large pink Berkley maggot the trout seemed to like.
