Well THOUGHT I was ready to start the day off good, original plan was to pull planer boards first 2-3 hours and then fish cut bait on points.
Friday afternoon I picked my boat from mechanic where he was doing the 100 hour service and couple other minor things but when I backed boat into water at ramp I heard that awful sound of a dead battery and I knew my backup battery that runs my ff was bad but had just not got around to replacing it.
Well since I pretty much refuse to shop at Wally World I came back to the house and threw my battery charger on and turned it up and then went to a locally owned battery store at 8 am near the house and picked up a new electronics battery.
Finally got on the water about 9 am and pulled up to first point on Shaw Island which is the one that runs parallel to Andersonville. Right off the bat caught 4lb cat and figured it would be a day of catching catfish but that was the only cat of the day.
Fished two different points within 400 yards of each other and finally tally best I could keep up with was 14 fish, 1 cat, 4 spotted bass and 9 stripers with the biggest right at 8lbs. Nothing big but nice day on the water all things considered.
