Water stained--nearly 3' clarity
Temp: 39.3° to 40.8°

Air: 57° down to 51°
Wind: NW at about 7 - 9 MPH

Ramp is in.

Threw numerous jerkbaits and never got a bite.

Main purpose of the expedition was to shakedown my boat.  Had been stored for 5 months. 

The temp sensor on my lowrance is not responding, and I had a 15 minute period where my trolling motor was doing its own thing...it came on, went off, ran slow, ran on high... then, it was fine.

Now I need to troubleshoot the lowrance/network/temp device, and put the rods in the rod locker.

I checked every connection and power fitting--all good.

So I went to Google, and found someone else had same problem, and they offered a fix.  So, went to the garage, and my unit didnt have any of the screens being discussed.  Then I went in, found an SD card, and downloaded the software upgrade.  Turned the unit on, and within 2 minutes, had the temperature sensor on and working.

Now, I have to put the console back together and put rods in the locker...

great!  hope to get the stock tank (you can thank Joe for that) back Friday afternoon...perhaps try and put my electronics back on Saturday...and, if time/weather permits...possibly test it for 'leaks'...  ;D on Sunday...
