El Cap 4/15

Another successful day on the lake today. Hit up the same spot as last week and the fish were still there but just not as many. Picked off a few there and then ran down the bank a little for a few more. I ended the day with 7 fish and my buddy got 3. Saw a bunch a guys catching schooled bass on their forward facing sonar which I have to say I’m quite envy. The bass were schooled on bait quite heavy today but couldn’t get them to bite anything we offered . Best five today went around 13 lbs. Fish On!
On a side note I would like to share an experience I had today so hopefully it will help someone. I was almost full throttle headed to the spot this morning when my throttle got stuck and it wouldn’t go back. I was doing about 45 mph and freaked out a little because my throttle was not budging. Ended up doing a 180 and got it to pull back and then shut the motor off. Looking back I had 2 other options that would have been better than the 180 I pulled off. 1. I could have pulled the kill switch and 2. I could have turned the key.
I felt like such an idiot afterwards but I’m glad my fishing partner and I are ok to fish another day because in the moment I was thinking the worst.
