| Rock Dock, Not In |
I got over to the lake place a little after 2PM. Steve was home. Couldn't get the bilge pump to work or get the motor to turn over, doh! Quickly figured out that I didn't have the motor in neutral; I thought I did and played with it several times. Finally found neutral when I connected the motor up to the troller battery. I got the bilge pump cleaned out the next day, and now it's working. It was sunny but cool. So rather than start fishing right away, I mapped the lake for a couple of hours.
I then started fishing in the Platte River Outlet Bay, where many Pelicans were and the warmest water, 41℉. Not a single sign of life. So I spent the last hour and a half between the access and the Cane. I was marking stuff in 6 to 10-feet but didn't have a bite. Water temps were 38-39, so I figure the fish were just lethargic.
I've got two and a half weeks before Opener, and hopefully, the Pelicans will find greener pastures somewhere else.
