I maybe be John-Flatbottom, not a toober - but I'll admit to the inspiration. Now if I could just learn how to catch enuf fish to actually have something to report about....(like SOME people have a knack for!!!).
But thanks in any case. My wife complained about me taking the "family" camera fishing, so - done inspired me to pick up a (newer/nicer) camera - just me own. Need to learn more of it's options (and how to focus on LITTLE fish!). Hit the video button by accident at Willard once. Kinda funny though - high flying gill...against the Mnts...
I must confess though - this whole day was kinda spoiled for me by stressing over getting the boat out at the end of the day. In is easy - push/go. Out a little tougher. The slop beyond the ramp is pretty steep, and getting kinda loose-gravelly. I'd seen signs of "alternate" launch points. But some looked to involve signs of deep-mucky-struggle. Don't need THAT!
So instead of the heart pounding from a Musky strike it was the - oh carp, what if I slide too far backwards, brakes don't hold, or can't haul to boat up, or the cable crank snaps, or ....
Made it. So - whatever. I will say - when I got on fish, and tugs got busy - the worries went bye-bye. That's one thing I LOVE about fishing - you go out, and get some adventure, excitement, and let the worries be gone for a while. Ahhhh.
Good Tugs!
