    Default The fish are going to starve


    I think I stripped the gears in my motor. I had everything ready to go a few dozen minnows, all my favorite jigs, just re-spooled all my reels, and perfect weather.

    I put the boat in gear and nuthin'

    I hope I can keep 'em fed from the bank until I get it fixed(sigh)
    A positive additude may not fix all of your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worthwhile.

    Frustrating, but manageable. But, if you do have to fix the motor, just don't tell the wife. Mine keeps track of how much I spend and gives me an approx price per pound when my boat gets put up for the winter. That is why I bought her a new 20hp Johnson for Valentines day. I don't think that will count against me.

    That's the ticket. I think my wife would like a new Bass Tracker panfish model for V-day
