Hit lake Terrell yesterday, was fishing along and ping TWANG dead foot pedal!! Primary steering cable snapped!! NOOO not now!! Got my use out of her though, going through my records, that motor had seen 8 years of service on the front of my boat, which equals about 8,000 hours of fishing time (no joke)! Thank you Motorguide!

Then on my way home I swung by Burlington to see what Wholesale Sports had in stock for motors and they are closed for business??!! Nooooo, I loved that store!! Bummer! I got home and promptly hid under my bed fearing more bad news ha ha!

Ran over to Cabelas today and should have a new trolling motor next week?!

FORTUNATELY this past winter I bought some back-up...a 12' Alumacraft Jon Boat that I just finished customizing hee hee, I shouldn't miss a beat next week, just wasn't able to make it out today, I should live...

BTW, water temps were 57* and the good old Whatcom winds were blowing about 10mph. Caught nothing in the 2 hours I got to fish.

Bummer about the trolling motor! Terrell was also tough when I went out there Sunday, didn't seem like any other of the bassers had much luck either, which was odd considering the lake was 58+ degrees in some spots that day.

I also went out to Wholesale Sports not long ago to load up on bass gear and sure enough, they had closed up shop. Now the closest place to get decent tackle is Cabelas :(

What model motor? Maybe the cable from one of my 2 derilics would fit?

We have a Wholesale Sports here in Federal Way. It's still open, though the name has changed to Sportsman's Wharehouse, which is what it was originally called. I was told there was a buy-out. I was also told that the store in Silverdale is also still open. Possibly the one in your area will reopen. Hope so. Wholesale Sports and Sportco in Fife are my favorite stores for a good selection of bass gear. I think better than Cabelas.
