Re: How's your boating season so far ?
My season sucks so far! Not able to get out much yet. Latest trip was on brother-in-law's boat.
- Night before, found it out of gas (bone dry) and in bad need of a wash.
- Day of, topped of fuel from 5 gals. night before.
- Within a mile of ramp, blew out trailer tire. Both were balled.
- Over $200 dollars and 2 hours later, got new tires on trailer.
- Lug nuts were almost seized and had to borrow lug wrench from guy that stopped to help.
- Out on the bay, it was very choppy with threatening storm, but made it to scalloping area.
- Had to get wasp nest out of anchor well before putting out anchor. Used spray-on sunblock to immobilize wasp then one at a time threw them overboard with pliers.
- Donned snorkel gear, but had to quit snorkeling before first clam because diver down flag blew off make-shift pole.
- Trolled on way back to canal as consolation, and took a rogue wave over bow flooding everything everything in the boat.
- anchored in canal and caught one sheepshead all day.
- left around 3 pm for their house to get in swimming pool and drink our misfortune away.
Don't believe it when you hear the "worst day fishing beats the best day at work.
"
