Anyone out there crappie fishing and doing any good on the big slabs?

My truck is not running right and I can't fish right now until I get it fixed. And the boat motor's water pump needs a look see also. So I can't get out and fish again.

Wish some folks would post some pictures in here so I can get my crappie fishing fix online.

Anyone in here know anything about plugged up water pumps on a Johnson 35 HP 1978 motor? The water was not coming out steady from the Pee Hole and I had very hot water (steam) coming out of the exhaust port above the water a couple of times while towing another boat back to the lauch ramp. After I got done towing the other boat the motor started running much better and not getting hot. It got hot after I launched at the Shallow end of Loon Pit and I wonder if I got some much or weeds in the water cooling system when I backed out of the launch ramp (gravel/muck) area and out into the lake. Since one can't go over idle speed it's possible maybe that some dirt was clogging up the water cooling tube. I'm taking the boat in for a look see at the repair shop in a couple of weeks but I'd like to fish some before that. Perhaps I can just flush it out with some fresh water and a garden hose?

I had the water pump impeller replaced a few years ago back in 2003 so it's been about 8 years since the water pump was replaced. It's probably time to get a new water pump installed. There is always something that needs repaired when you own a boat or truck.
