Sunday - September 12, 2010 - Day 214 - 42 days missed
Flint River bass club tournament, West Point. Sunny and hot, water 86 degrees Ran up to bridge and got a solid keeper largemouth on second cast with popper. Fished around the riprap and landed two small throwback spots on jig but no more keepers. Ran to a point about a half mile away and motor made rattling sound as I came to idle and it shut off. Cranked it and it sounded bad. Decided to fish my way back to the ramp, a few miles away, rather than make motor worse. In 6.5 hours fishing back I landed a keeper spot in the back of a pocket in four feet of water on a jig head - it picked it up and ran under the boat before i could set the hook. Back at the bridge I landed my third keeper on a small jig and pig. About a mile from weigh-in spot I was going across a big shallow flat with troll motor on high. A school came up in front of boat and I got a solid 2 pound spot on a popper. That was it. Got back to the ramp in time. My four went 5.9 pounds and third place. First had five at 9 and second was five at 7.5. Not too bad with no motor. I did crank it to try to get it on the trailer and a club member who is a mechanic said it sounded like a bearing was running without oil. Gonna be an expensive tournament!
