St Jo 3-17

[hornets nest]

Made the first trip of the year. Crazy warm for march, only one dink coho to show for trolling from 9:30am till 1:00pm. Nice day, all of my updates to the boat turned out well, the planer boards I re rigged with 2 small masts just in front of the cabins and the reels mounted to the side of the cabin were we can reach from the seats worked out real well, no more going around the cabin to get on the bow to let out or retreive the boards YAAA. Autopilot worked well along with the used 9.9 Yamaha 4 stroke I picked up over the winter, no more problems I hope like we had with the 2002 Johnson 9.9 4 stroke that would not run one trip out without problems all last year. The one fish came off a diver and spoon. Didn't see a lot of nets going, water temp was 42-45 deg worked in front around the edge of the dirty water while for a while then headed south in 10' to 40' of water, good trip, wish the fish would have coaperated better. Thinking about going to New Buffalo tomorrow.

Only one fish, but still a great job with all the updates working.
