Fished a week ago and in 5 hours three of us kept 28 over 12". Went again Yesterday, only fished 4 hours and kept 16 over 12". Lots of smaller fish this time that were released. Love the cooler weather.

New 20V battery system for the livescope worked great. ( One 20V DeWalt Drill Battery)

FYI,
If you have a Minn Kota trolling motor with I-Pilot and when anchored the jog features quit working right, check the charge in all your trolling motor batteries. If the voltage drops below a certain level the first indication will be malfunction with the I-Pilot.. Happened to me and I had a bad battery.

Can you elaborate on the drill battery hook up, how did you wire it in? any pics? I noticed you can get a two pack of them, would that be useful to swap out easily?
Is it the seelite adapter you are using for the battery?
Thanks

Yes, I used the Seelite adapter. Attach a two flat (10 Ga) plug on and the wires on the adapter and also on the wire to the black box. Just plug it in or you can wire it direct. Simple to change batteries. Just snap it out like on a drill.

Hey Earnest, what amp hour are your dewalt batteries? I have been thinking about using them, 5 amp hour is my largest.

Ernest - were you fishing Lewisville or Texoma?

Have you tried the slip?
