tip of the day

[WTM]

if the boat seems kind of heavy to push off the trailer, CHECK THE PLUG.

other than that had a good day with my son, who caught all the fish. fished 30ish ft of water along the ledge drops. blue cats, channel cats , a few big gills and a nice eater drum.

I've got one better, or I guess worse. I was putting in at Whiteville Lake with my son. There were bank fishermen all around the ramp. My son attempted to back the boat off the trailer and it would only move a foot or so forward and backward. I forgot to take the straps off the transom.

I have never forgot my plug (yet) but I did forget the straps last year while duck hunting one morning. :rotf:

i filled my boat so full of water i coulndnt even get it off the trailer. i thought i had left the straps on and it dawned on me. took about 5-10 minutes to empty it with the drain and bilge on. i told my son, not a good start. sure enough i almost fell out of the boat, dumped a whole carton of nightcrawlers in the boat and then when we started catching fish had this ahole come from across the lake and started fishing our drift 30 yards above us. didnt matter though he couldnt find the channel ledge. it pays to have good, current mapping.

it didnt help that i was on the third day after a root canal and temp crown.

If you haven't tried it with an audience, it's more fun if there's a bunch of people around watching the live performance. :roll:

Been there done that. Got the receipt from Academy Sports for the new C02 cartridge for my 2 automatic life jackets to prove it.

Knock on wood, I have yet to...nope. Not gonna jinx myself! :shock: :lol:

Although I fish from a kayak, I'm sure my time is coming as it is.
