In my fifty plus years of fishing I have learned there are specific points one does not do when pursuing the object of his mania. In the interests of saving whoever could be reading this the discomfort and frustration I have gone through I wish to submit the following five which are, to tell the truth, in no certain order. I also need to have to add the disclaimer the following are all accurate. I know. I have either had them occur to me or had them occur to a group I was with at the time.
1. In no way ever tell your son he cannot catch anything with the Bomber Lengthy A lure he has just tied to his line. Do not try to explain you are fishing for trout not bass. Three points will occur. He will go ahead and do it just to spite you, he will catch the greatest bass either one of you has ever seen and he will by no means, ever let you forget it.
2. Never lose sight of your equipment. Sooner or later you will turn your back on rod and reel only to spin around as your son hollers at you to see your outfit blissfully skimming the waves as it heads out into open water only to sink out of sight. This will once more leave you with selections. Either jump into the water in a vain attempt to corral the disappearing equipment or run up and down the bank teaching your son some fairly creative words to express himself.
three. By no means forget the capability to get out of a tight spot is directly proportional to the ease with which you get there in the first location. Also, distance is multiplied by the weight of the equipment you take with you. For instance: An ice chest with sodas, sandwiches, chips and bait that weight 6.5 pounds will weigh 65 pounds and 1 hundred yards will be one thousand by the time you are ready to return carrying it.
4. In no way leave the dock in a boat whose anchor is tied to only twenty feet of rope, especially if the lake is extra than twenty feet deep. This shortcoming will severely limit your ability to remain in one location for any length of time. On an educational note you will discover the veracity in water movements based on the moon. It will encourage any weak stomach to react to the back and forth motion of an unanchored vessel.
five. By no means put a boat into the water with out creating certain all drains are closed or effectively plugged up. It is very tricky to fish from a submerged boat not to mention the trouble of dealing with every person else who desires to launch. Additionally one is not supposed to fish where 1 launches anyway. On leading of it all getting the boat out of the water will take up the rest of your fishing day. Absolutely nothing will make persons laugh more than when they know all you caught was your boat.
