Passaic River 7/23

[NorthJerzyG]

Hit the river yesterday for a few hours, on the water by about 8am. Slowly worked my way upstream throwing a mix of spinnerbait, jointed rapapla, and senko. Came up empty......

Then, after a mile or two, IT Happened.................

My trolling motor up and died!! F&%#@!!!! Def not the battery cause it was still more than half full. So, after a few minutes of f-bombs, i began awkwardly fishing and rowing my way back downstream throwing the same assortment.

Luckily the current was with me but extremely hard to stay on a fishable drift. Don't know how u yakkers do it, lol.

Off the water by noon. Final tally for the day, no fish, 1 shot trolling motor, and f'n sore arms. Still, nice morning out on the water...........
