Heater Wouldn't Fire, Caught 1 Crappie (Annoying)

 

8" VMC Fly/Maggot

5:30-6:30PM 12' Platte Lake Access
10-18℉, PC, 0-4mph NNE

I headed to the Platte Lake Access at about a quarter to 4PM. I pulled the Fish Trap out on the farthest West road. I got my lines down and then couldn't get the heater to start. Not a happy camper.  I pulled my lines up and headed to Bear Trax to refill my propane tank at about 5PM. Got back in the shack within twenty minutes. Turns out my heating element gave up the ghost. Really not a happy camper. I caught one crappie. It was about the same Temp in the new Fish Trap as it would have been in my old one with the heater running. When the holes started freezing I called it a night.
