Yeah, hit Bashan lake in East Haddam. Caught a few little guys, then ended up with engine trouble (or so I thought) and had to bail early.
Dropped the big motor to switch spots and noticed no water was coming out of the pee hole on the motor

. (I launched in the dark and did not notice originally, whoops). Went back to the launch on the trolling motor and headed home. After messing with it for a few minutes, it ended up being something stupid. Had some kind of bug larve in the hose that feeds the telltale. Cleared that and all is good, but it cost me some valuable fishing time.
My season is over. I hate the cold
