Trip Notes: Had a great evening fishing with my daughter! (At least until 9 when we tried to leave and couldn’t get the boat motor going! Fortunately I replaced the trolling motor batteries recently and we were able to troll back to dock!) Thanks much to the gentleman who helped me get the boat on the trailer via rope! We only caught the two fish, but since we both caught one, and I caught my largest yet it was worth it!
