I took the boat out last night. Caught a couple small cats and a sucker. I wasnt out long because my motor was acting up and I didnt want to try and head to the dock in the dark with a screwed up motor. I am still unsure whats wrong with the motor it is way underpowered when I open it up. I am just guessing it must have somthing to do with the lower end or the carb. Today I am going to drain the oil in the lower end and verify that there isnt much water in there. I don’t know enough about boat motors to really diagnose whats causing the problem. I wont let that keep me from fishing too long I will either fix my motor buy a different one and in the process of that I am forced to fish from shore. Early in the fishing season when the water level was too high for boating I had alot of luck from shore so I don’t think it will be to much of a problem for me to still catch good fish. Just kinda sad I really enjoy the ability to try lots of different spots.
