Lake was covered in big snow drifts all the way across.
Loaded up and headed out around 12. Halfway to the islands I hit one of the 100's of drifts and boom lost the entire load. Repacked, and kept going.
The auger. Took an absolute beating — plastic cracked or gone.
5-10 min later started and holes finally popped.
Then the buddy heater - Looked like I went at it with a hammer, just mashed up real bad and that didn't want to start either but she finally did.
On the way back at 5:30ish we hit another drift and the pins on the Pelican gave way (good luck finding those). Dug out a rope and limped the last 8 km back to shore at about 15 mph.
Tomorrow is going to be an expensive day taking stock of what gear is just done!
pinheads… why pinheads? I don't know but put a pinhead on boom.
Prime time = can't keep two lines down and baited!
50+ walleyes, 2 perch, 1 cisco, and one tank that got away.
Still no trophy yet.
Not sure anything else could go wrong
