Yeah, My Motor Is Not Blown…Caught A Few In The Glaize

10mm of the Glaize, creek channel banks with mixed rock and docks with all presentations on the bottom fishing very slow.

Today was an awesome day, after yesterdays fishing SNAFU of my motor not working after running 50 miles and catching a bunch of big ones in a tournament without being able to weigh them in, I got news this morning from the best Mercury Mechanic on the lake, Dan Bowman, that my motor was back up and running. As many of you know, a blown head or lower unit is the worst that can happen, that was what I thought the news would be, but instead, the news was that a bolt came loose on my compressor which cause a shift in the compressor which then sheared off 2 of the remaining 3 bolts. Dan got it all back together and by 10 this morning my boat was back and operational. So, I got on the water about 3:30 and fished to about 6ish. I ran up the Glaize to find warm water, fished some good banks and got some bites. I have heard that there is a very good bite on the Crock-o-Gator Swamp Bug, so I committed to it and caught fish. I also know that the Chompers Finesse Jig in the Davenport Special color catches the fish very good on sunny days, and that jig caught me some fish too today. While I did not catch a bunch of big ones today, I am happy my boat is up and running and to get some bites on two very special baits for Lake of the Ozarks.
