I'm leaving it up to you guys and gals, what should the penalty be when a fishing buddy invites ya fishing, he says he's gonna pick you up at 3 am, and ya gotta work that day, you get up at 2 am, you're all ready to go fishing, and he never shows up! Then you get a lame PM saying he set his clock for 2 pm not 2 am?
ahhahaha

[size 2] [font "Comic Sans MS"] Well first off, we need to know if this is your fishing buddy's first offense. If it is, he/she should only be given a slap on the wrist and the opprotunity to redeem himself/herself. If it's not then I think a lynching on Main Street should be in order.

I wouldn't go as far as popping a hole in his float tube or anything like that but if that buddy has the boat and I don't, I would withdraw my offer on buying the bait and beer.
Instead I would make sure that I have my own and then when he gives me that dumb look of lustful thirst I would simply tell him "Forget it XX you are not getting any of my Bud Light" ha ha.[

I mean I would be hopping mad. He sent you a PM! Give me a break. If I screwed up that bad I would have called you on the phone![[Image: gforum.cgi?do=post_attachment;postatt_id=5543;]](http://www.bigfishtackle.com/cgi-bin/gforum/gforum.cgi?do=post_attachment;postatt_id=5543;)
as soon as I woke up. He would really have to do something great for me to forgive him. Like buying a lobster dinner with all the trimings.[/size][/#408080]

If it were here on the West Coast, during lobster season, I would allow the fool to make restitution by taking my to the backside of Catalina Islands to Lobster Bay. I could then catch my 7 Lobster limit and perhaps a nice Mako to boost my points in the 16species contest. I would not give him/her any of the Lobster nor the Mako. I would then call him/her at 3am the next day and tell him/her how delicious the meal was.
Does that sound too mean or impolite??

damn you're brutal! as I said before, he is a fishing buddy, I have decided to take Powermaker's advice, and give them a 2nd or even possibly a 3rd chance . .

You should never stop loving your fishing buddies. I never said he/she would be cut off from the future events. I would surely give him/her a big hug after the pennance is served and let him/her know that I am ready to be stood up again if given the chance.[cool]
No hard feelings. Just a small lesson. hee hee.

Hi there southernman,
I have conferred with the fishing gods on this one and their answer will be that..... if they find his or her excuse was truely lame and or his or her heart unpure, they will access a penalty so as cause the angler to not catch any decent sized fish for the next 3 fishing trips with you.
Rest assured we are being watched over.

ah the metaphysical ponderance, a little off the physical realm, not quite on the literal plane, exceeding our understanding of the dimensions

although you have allready made up your mind, i would throw a big BUT into the mix "......, but you have to supply the beer, and you are to be the DB and the DD so none for you."

that fine if you are going to give him a second chance, but it should still come with a fine, (coffee, donuts, and bait for the next two trips)

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm donuts!

ps damn atkins diet

If you make a hole in a nice Filet Mignon, it will look like a donut.[

didnt you hear that low carb diets are harmfull to your helth. (according to the channel 7 news with reports from doctors) My doc actualy put me on a high carb diet. If I ate every thing the doc told me to eat they would call me the S.S. Blimpie[

there is about as much oil in a donut as a fryed fish. Ok a Fryd fish dinner....
its the oil in the donuts and all the sugar in the coverings and fillers that is the killer...
experiment....
take one plain fryed donut out of the box, allow it to dry out. lay it on a napkin in the microwave and nuke for 1 minut, take out donut and ring oil out of napkin....[shocked]
[signature]
Maybe the punishment would be to have our late fsihing buddy eat the donut instead.[cool] LOL
