Rugers tip of the day

[RUGER]

Dead cranking battery.

Trolling motor battery dying.

Loading a boat with a trolling motor sucks.

Water is too cold for wading.

Use your crap or it will die.

I have had a two bank onboard charger in my truck for two weeks that a buddy gave me.

I blame duck hunting prep.

Every boat should have an on board charger as standard equipment.

Any fish? I charge all
My batteries every trip. Probably overkill on the cranking battery

Lost an absolute slab crappie right at the boat on the second cast. Ended up with one crappie and one bream.
I found plenty but they just weren't eating.

the weather for duck hunting doesnt look good at least for all of this month either but it is good fishing weather.

Just got back from putting my boat up in the enclosed storage unit.

My routine has worked well so far... Pick up the boat the evening before I fish, top off trolling battery, then cranking battery.

Get back home Sat afternoon and put the trolling battery on charge while I wash boat, trailer, fishing gear, and unhook fuel line from motor, start motor in a tub and rinse the saltwater out of the motor and run the carbs completely dry.

Unhook the fully charged trolling battery the following morning, then top off the cranking battery. Head to church. Get back from church, cranking battery is 100%, then unhook it and take the boat back to storage unit.
