“It should be pretty easy to check out. Hey this Xantrec unit also will tell you how much load you are pulling, so we don’t have to guess when it’s going to drain the battery. Also, tell the girls’ that if it starts beeping to shut it off, that’s the low voltage warning.” Jack said before we plugged the light direct into the cell and he did a easy bit of checking by putting has hand over the little window and causing it to go light dark, turning the light in the lake on and off.

“Well, we will just let it come on and give everyone a nice surprise. We certainly need it to improve our night fishing catches.” I told him grumbling about all this water and lack of fish in it.

This lake is a is a mostly infertile, clear water reservoir with a limited abundance of sport fish and baitfish, when compared to more fertile impoundments like those on the Coosa River where we first thought about trying to go. Deep, clear water and very skittish bass in shallow water, all go together, and often calls for applying deep water tactics we just can’t do when fishing from our docks, because we can’t cast out far enough to get our bait or lures into the main channel. So we been resorting to night fishing mostly and that type of fishing can show some of those bigger bass species foraging in the shallows.

“Jack we need to find someone like Bernie who has lived on this Lake for many years to help us out a bit and point out some good fishing holes and how to navigate to them. We are not far from the mid lake region where more people get lost around there, in the mid-lake, than anywhere else on the lake. Small islands, narrow, main lake openings and many, small to large islands, adorn the mid-lake section. If you are not careful to be looking back off and on, you may not even remember which direction you came from, because it all looks the same. There are also some big feeder creeks to get lost in as well. Some creeks are so big; you will think you are still on the main lake, when navigating blindly without a compass and a good map.” I explained to him about one of our borders of the Lake that I had only been out on once during a guided fishing trip.

“Sounds like a pretty dangerous proposition to get too far out seeing that there most likely is nobody around these days to help you if you get in trouble out on the water. I wonder how many people had to swim in or paddle in when that Solar storm hit” Jack said walking back towards my house with me.

“I don’t know, I suppose a lot of boats would still work because of simple engines and a lot of them wouldn’t, it would depend on the type of electronics in them. That’s very difficult to consider what might work or not.
