.......go fishing in the kayaks Friday morning. Of course the wind is blowing about 20+ and it was quite a workout to get to the place we wanted to. First we went to 2 different places to buy shrimp and they were closed. So we went back to her house and cast for some piggies and shrimp, but nada. By the time we were done it was nearly 9:00 so we decided to see if one of the bait shops was open again.
It was, we got our desparately sought after live shrimp and headed to the launch are. Mr. Ladyfish was nice enough to let me borrow his truck and made sure that I had the ignition key and the valet key. He said "be sure to lock the ignition key in the console, then lock it up and only carry the valet key with you." So I did as he said.
We fought our way through the high winds and arrived in a real nice area of wetlands. Fish were everywhere, 'cept on our lines. The water was literally blowing up right next to the kayaks. Be we coudln't catch a one of them. Then I decided to head over to the geotubes, stick one leg out of the kayak to ground myself and cast over it. Sure enough I had a big bite and thought, "what the hell amd I gonna do if its a big one? Yank it up over the tube, put it in the kayak WITH me? I think not."
Anyway it was only a 12" croacker. I caught two more but nothing to write home about. Zena is going to nursing school and had a class at 1:00 so we decided to head back, this time against the wind and fish from the boat launch area. Bites were good but we couldn't land anything.
Fiinally, it was nearing 12:00 and so we loaded the kayaks in the truck, rushing to get her home so she could shower. I put the key in and it wouldn't start. I immediately grew red in the face and told her, "i'm sorry, its never done this before, sounds like its not getting any gas since its turning over just fine." My next comment was "I didn't do anything to it, Oh please tell me I didn't do anything to it? Mr. Ladyfish is gonna have a fit." This went on for about 10 minutes. Then at the same exact time we looked at eachother and started laughing insanely and said "it's the damn valet key." HAHAHAHAHA
