So I headed to the lake place at about 1:30PM. Getting the prop put back on and the trolling motor mounted went smoothly. The bow light still didn't work and I realized getting the new bilge pump connected was going to require me getting that stuck wingnut off the terminal. I called and told him to bring some WD40. Dad didn't find any WD40 but brought some lubricant that Pete brought up last fall. He suggested I spray the lubricant in the light receptacle. I'll be darned that worked. I made a little headway on the wingnut, but it was extremely slow. Meanwhile, the CO detectors were going off in the lake place which Dad had opened up. I propped the porch door open and found a pipe wrench in the basement. The pipe wrench allowed Dad and I to get enough leverage to get the wingnut off. I then ran to Bear Trax to get a different wingnut and some minnows. I think we headed to the Platte Lake Access at around a quarter to 4. The motor started right up and I was off. Victory Achieved!
7:00-7:20 Bulldog
7:30-10:30PM GOMH SW
57-47℉, Sunny, 2-35mph
High rising
I decided to hit Bulldog first. Nothing was going on there, so I quickly packed up for the GOMH and was pleasantly surprised no one was there. I set up on the SW side. I started out getting a jumper on the Swim Shad after many casts. I thought the toothy might be a dogfish the way it was bulldogging me. Nope, just another big toothy critter. A bullhead fisherman showed up around 9PM. He fished the Northside for maybe 10 minutes then joined me on the Southside. After about 10-minutes I got a 12-inch silver. That was the only silver bite of the night. The bullhead fisherman caught a dogfish and mumbled something about them eating sunfish and walleye eggs. He also lost a bullhead and left just before 10PM. I stayed until 10:30PM. It was clear and the wind had died down quite a bit. Not sure when the moon was supposed to rise. I had had enough.
