Well after today I know who's curse it is....

Let me start from the start...

TD and I was going to make a trip to Yuba I have an auger that I got back in 1978 and has always started year after year...Never had to be worked on....[Wink][cool]

And I have a four wheeler 1993 Suz. and it runs like a clock, that was until I went with TD...[crazy]

Now on the first trip the rope pull start the rope got stuck in the out, well when I got back I fixed it and on the next two trips it worked great....(TD was not there for the two)

OK the next trip to Yuba with TD we took my four wheeler (ben running great) we get to Yuba and it don't want to start so we walk....Get it home it runs just fine...

We TD and I went to Jordanelle (with four wheeler) it runs great, but the rope pull gets stuck again (get home) it works and it worked great today....

Today I went with Brent to Yuba with our four wheelers and auger all worked great...

TD said it was my auger and four wheeler that was bad I think TD put a curse on them so when he is along they won't work....Oh yes we got our perch in 1 hour an 30 min. and one pike 15" that I let go to grow some more the perch 3 was over 12" with the biggest at 12 1/2" 5 was 11 and the rest was 10" to 11"....

We fished in 28' of water with TD crayfish flavored perch...

Now if all works great when TD is not around Who is the CURSE?????????

The only way to prove this is to go fishing again or again and again to see what happens,[Wink] what do you think??? [crazy][crazy][sly]

If I were you I'd try fishing as much as you can for the next few months than look back at the great times you had with TD. (and blame TD for the bad luck [Tongue])

I dunno, Cliff. I fished with TD once (seems like long ago), and we were anything BUT cursed. We slayed them that day at Mantua.

A foot-long perch? I'd love to see a pic if you have one! I think the longest perch I've seen caught was 10 1/2".

There is only one way to prove whether its a true curse or not...
Buy a brand new Auger and 4 wheeler... And see if they will start AT Yuba in front of Tubedude..
If they start.. just shrug your shoulders and be happy you had a great excuse to upgrade some equipment[cool].
If they don't start... No question.. Tubedude is a man-witch.. come to think of it.. That must be how he catches so many fish whenever he goes out[sly]

[cool][#0000ff]Sniff, sniff. I have been forever degraded by the harsh accusations of a (former ???) fishing buddy.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]But, I'm a BIG boy. I can take it. I have had worse accusations by worse people than you. Bring it on.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Just remember, whenever you point a finger of blame, there are three more fingers pointing back at you.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Ha! Take that.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]But, whenever you are ready to further test your theory, I am ready to tag along and do my part. Just to be sure, I will bring my own auger and I will be prepared to hike across the ice while you are trying to get your wheeler started.[/#0000ff]

Well we may only have 40 to 45 more days of ice fishing left this year so it may take 5 or so many year to find out for sure [sly]...

New Ice auger no I just got this one broke in, and if I got another four wheeler no a new boat comes first....[Wink]
