    I should have known better! I put my trolling motor battery on charge yesterday when I got home from work. I thought it was acting funny as it showed full charge when I put it on. Came back out before leaving and it was on 3. Like an idiot I loaded up and took off. This battery also powers the spotlight attached to my Bow. I unload, and about 100 yards later it starts going dead :( I cuss myself, load back up and head out. Im approaching a country bridge that I have shot fish off of and thought hey, why not stop on it, attach spotlight to Jeep battery and give it a go. I was able to shoot a decent Carp, so it wasnt a total bust! There were 2 more that kept going to either side of bridge never giving me a shot. SO, Here is all I have to show for it but it was still fun. Now I need to get a new charger!

    I really haven't shot much at all this year and my only tournament I shot for about 2 out 24 hours. So I'm really looking forward to getting out and shooting some bigheads.
