The Twins were brutal this past weekend..........BRUTAL, but it is awesome when you outfish hundreds of the best tourney pros out there
.
We managed keepers every day, but definitely not many.......
We ended up throwing blade baits a whole , whole lot, and caught hundreds of white bass, with a few large mouth and smallies mixed in.......
I don't believe we caught any keepers like that though.....Keepers were caught on Jigs, and Crankbaits. Jigs on a couple very, very deep spots on North Barkley.
Crankbaits on South Barkley.
We also threw the TAR out of top water, but only caught a few smalls using that technique.
Barkley north and south for us was better than Kentucky, but not because of Kentucky. The winds were pretty bad this past weekend, and my tin boat does so much better on Barkley than Kentucky when the winds are up.
I'm thinking this might be my last trip for the year, as I'm having to either bite the bullet and buy a new trolling motor, or spend a few hundred on a complete rebuild of the lower unit of the TM..........I threw a prop seal and it was full of water. Most of it is in bad shape. I will new a new armature, new brush mount, new brushes, and maybe new components in the top end of the motor........I only noticed the water in the motor based on a big black grease spot on the carpet. When I'd pull the motor up and run the next spot, all water in the motor would run up the shaft, and leak out onto my carpet.....and man was that water ugly
Oh well............Parts have been ordered, but if I need more than what I ordered, I'm buying an Ultrex.
Later,
