First fishing trip of the season didn't quite work out!

Spur of the moment fishing outing to one of our favorite pits!! First of the season!
I went online and purchased 2008 licenses, while he got the boat ready. Had to run up the street for 2 cycle oil, then run and fill up the boat gas tank, only to find out that the gas line was messed up and the motor wouldn't start. Took the big motor off the boat since there wasn't anything we could do about it today, without a trip to Wal-mart, charged up the battery for the trolling motor and off we went.
As soon as the boat went in the water and we started crossing the pit, the trolling motor battery was running out of juice. Before we got too far away and ran clear out of a dying battery, we came back to the shore, loaded up the boat and decided that today was not meant to be. We didn't bring lawn chairs nor minnows, so gave it up for another time. Of course Perry had some CHOICE WORDS for the whole ordeal, but my blog is NICE so his words do not go in here!
Guess new battery and new fuel line will be on the list to buy before we try this again!
It WAS a pretty day though :).
