Re: Trolling Motor constantly on high speed

I had the same motor and same issue. Turned out that I had water in the lower unit. I have had that happen a couple of times to my TM. Had it repaired twice. Knock on wood, this last time seems to have gotten the job done.

One last DVL inspection question

Do the seats have to be free of moisture as well. I know I have had several mornings where I have developed condensation on the boat while waiting in line for a lake to open. Just curious if, when I wipe it down, if I were to miss a spot on the seat, or a window, would that get me turned away?

Re: Best bass lake in San Diego right now?

That research is a bit deceiving. Otay is a lot bigger than Murray. At Otay, tules ring the lake and there are openings in the tules to fish. Murray has much more walkable shoreline. If you are fishing from shore, Murray is a better option than Otay.

Personally, I am glad to see she went out on her own and not on the end of a stringer waitiing to be certified. A fish that big, after being caught as many times as she had and providing so much entertainment for so many bass fishermen, deserved to die on her own.
