Went yesterday for the first time since June 6. Didn't find a crappie, but did catch a few bluegill. Started out spider rigging and going to just enjoy some time doing something besides working on house stuff. Trolling motor batteries just about died after an hour. After 6 years I guess it was about time. Decided to go with the lithiums and Noco 3 bank charger and ordered them after lunch today from Impulse Lithium.Also got 15% off of batteries by being a member of Crappie.com. He told me I would probably get them tomorrow since he would get them out. Sure enough , email from UPS says should be here tomorrow. Pretty good deal - free shipping and fast service. I even cleaned and washed the boat today.
