Thread: Buzzed by the Thunderbirds

Yesterday's time set-back had financial set-back too! Chose to fish the fest-site, Lake Monroe yesterday after being a minute or two since my last attempt. Unfortunately, the 1 1/2 hour drive had an additional mind-check to add to the Full Moon(Blue moon/Blue angler), stingy bite that had me bringing out the Credit Card "rescue team" 1st ramp arrival @safe-light had juices flowing in the positive direction to only gradually diminish, despite my earnest, feverish attempts to thwart. Long-lining 7 rods, continual lure color/depth/area changes with the heavy>no cloud cover throughout the day, still only yielded 8 fat specks/1 bluegill with 6 throwback including a bg. Relentlessly building wind conditions/sky conditions(Sanford Air show{Thunderbirds}) proved to be challenging in my low-sided 16 Carolina skiff. Basically covered the lake 360 degrees throughout the day even doing some single-pole casting that yielded 2 specks including a 12 1/2" fattie! The "needle in the haystack" reared its ugly point(OUCH) on the arduous, lengthy trailered trip home just 25 minutes from my driveway. My overheat light took its turn to add yet another non-positive dimension to my already beleaguered day. Luckily, immediately pulling into a well-lit business lot, my 3 hour wait was about to ensue while listening to NFL game broadcasts. Tandem Jerr-Dan tow vehicle(130k) was my chauffeur to home after fronting out of pocket(Thank you Visa) $224 for balance of uncovered insurance vehicle distance/boat and trailer. Note to readers!! PLEASE check your insurance coverage for towing!! I do have a mitigating factor of a no-fault, front-end accident/radiator replacement last year that's being assessed @this time for reimbursement?? Hopefully, with luck, a portion of tow fee as well. Sea tow offers off-road towing reimbursement up to $500 per incident for only $14 additional. Do you know that learn rhymes with BURN?
Well, at least my boats on my driveway, the 2018 Explorer is @dealership, and my phone is on call-waiting for Paul Harvey(just like tomorrow's "event")

Hopefully see you folks @Crappiefest on Saturday...

I'm getting 4 new tires on my trailer today just incase it gets out of the drive way

Now they are waiting on parts & won't even give me a loaner vehicle.

Anyway, glad you made it home safe & I'm sure you'll be back out ASAP.
