Sometimes it is the small things in life that are exciting. I messed around with this Johnson motor in my garage and put it on the boat (Remember I bought the 12' boat, trailer and motor for $500. I couldn't start it right away and messed with it in the garage in a bucket of water. The Escanaba Marina dock hand came over and he said it looked like the old 1960's motor on another boat. We played with the choke and we worked through it to determine what some of the knobs do. We got the idle to go down. Letters are sort of worn out. Guess what? It works!
It hasn't been tested so I'm not going too far out yet least I be rowing back!
This AM at the gym I got into a discussion of fishing spots. Apparently the Walley are hiding on the other side of the bridge in the shallows, out by "the point" (My friend Len probably knows where the spots are. Keeping it a little secret. Shhhh!) and along the rocks near the mouth of the marina when they come in to feed. I haven't really been able to try any of the spots (except the other side of bridge with the wrong bait. Its super shallow there except a channel of 10'to15' in the middle.). I was told to be quiet or they will stay away from the bait.
