Old Hickory Lake Report 9/27/08........BOOM!
« on: September 28, 2008, 09:30:32 PM »
Fished OH lake Saturday morning.  First spot, first fish was a LM bass that would push three pounds.  Then, nothing else.  Decided to head to another spot.  While driving to the next spot.....Click....Click........BOOM!  My outboard motor blew >:(.  When I opened my cowling A LOT of aluminium fell into the water. >:(.   I dropped the trolling motor down and started my hour and a half troll back to the ramp.  Really didn't feel like fishing much because of the motor blowing.  Did manage a couple more smaller bass and some panfish.  I was using a small minnow pattern.

Good news is got another motor in the works hope to be back out soon.  I almost did the cumberland river, really glad I didn't.

Hope everyones weekend ended better than mine. But hey, I caught fish.

Go catch a fish for me,

Gary

I know that feeling, 5 miles up the Cumberland, foot & half swells, 20 MPH wind, 4 hour trip back hugging the bank, thank goodness battery was charged.

Sorry to hear that. What motor was it that blew?
