Just got done running and rebaiting a few lobster pots with my bud, running up the bay to do some fishing. Boat is up and planing, give my bud the helm, and I go back to pull the plug and drain some of the water that accumulated from the pot lines.<br />Plug out...water draining...great. Hole gets clogged with starfish and seaweed, so I reach down into the bilge pocket, grab a chunk of the crap, and hurl it over the side.....along with the plug that was in my hand.<br />Uh-oh....Jim to Jack...don't slow down! Keep it on a plane and head back home!<br />What to do in the no wake zone?<br />Well, I held my thumb in the hole...the whole darn time...until boat was on trailer. No fish, no plug, no problem. Just a shortened day. I'm carrying a spare from now on.
