]No more appeasing the fishing gods! The spine in the tube was adding insult to injury! I was so caught up in trying to figure out how I was going to catch the next fish, that it didn't occur to me that my rods were leaning in much too far. I thought maybe I had not secured them like I was supposed to, but when I could see it was done right ... it occured to me that I was losing air. So, I went back to the car and pumped backup to capacity. Since the boat and PWC traffic had picked up near where we launched, the fishes were turned off ... so my catching was over. Guess we'll just have to go back another day!
