    “id see a little sheen on the surface of the water”

    Yeah, the power trim is leaking. Or, at any rate, something is leaking.

    It’s common, but not something to let go indefinitely.

    Man, it being “cold” is no excuse. It’s not cold. Cold is when everything freezes indefinitely until spring. lol Cold is when you have to use engine block heaters or the oil pan freezes solid. That’s real cold.

    On a side note, I think the relatively warm weather affects us southerners. It’s too easy to blow off something until tomorrow, whereas up north there is a definitive cutoff date: get that thing done before it’s covered in three feet of snow and frozen solid. lol

    Think about it: how did so many Yankee bass anglers kick so much ass in the south, especially Louisiana? Their lakes are frozen over half the year. They can’t even fish! So one could say that, by southern standards, they have as much as half the fishing experience. So I wonder if the cold improves their ethic.

    I mean, Kevin Van Dam (Michigan), Mike Iaconelli (New Jersey), Jacob Wheeler (Indiana) and more have absolutely dropped the hammer on Bassmaster win after Bassmaster win in southern waters. That says something.

    Just saying!
