Coleman Crawdad on Hefner




So I got my dad's old Coleman Crawdad jon boat a couple weeks ago. I've put about 200 bucks into it so far. It has a trolling motor that pushes me along pretty good when the battery doesn't die out early on me. I took it out for its second voyage on Hefner today. This time with a much larger battery. Needless to say the little one I had before left me high and dry. I had to paddle to the ramp!

Tonight it did a little better but still croaked out on me after 2 hours. I suspect it didn't have a full charge. I still managed to catch 2 bass tonight. One at 1 lb another at 1.5 or so. Both on a topwater popper. Let's hope for some low wind tomorrow night so me and the kiddo can go for a spin on the crawdad.
