hubby caught fish too...but every time he got one it was raining. in fact, it was probably raining every time anybody got any more fish, cuz this was the only pic that got taken out there today. it rained off and on all day. which sucked. we were putting our rain gear on and off every half hour. it was pretty lame. but we were glad to have it. the bad part of that was, when our storage bin got robbed a couple years ago...my gortex (100 plus dollar rain /wind gear) got stolen...along with the pants to the jacket i have now... so hubby let me wear HIS rain pants today...he only had his jacket. nice guy eh? but i looked like a big clown wearing HIS pants out there. i almost fell overboard once, then i rolled the pants up about four cuffs, so i wouldn't trip on my pant legs and drown!
so anyhow...yep. we all got fish. but i didn't get a lot. i thought i boated two...hubby says it was three or four. i can agree with three, but not four. i may have got three...heck i literally blacked out the first two hours of the day!! before leaving the house, and part of the way out there...totally do not remember stopping for gas in the truck. not a flash of it! ugh. i'm losing my mind. but anyhow. i got at least two bass that i remember...and have a pic to prove one of em. LOL. i lost two. one was a nice one too. he was almost at the boat, then he was gone. the next one hit right at the boat, and shook it out right there. i didn't even have a chance to set the hook really. then i lost another one ...as soon as the bait hit the water he hit it.... i set the hook sooo hard....the entire line...bait, hook, and all ...came flying all the way over the boat!!! i was so lucky it didn't hit one of us. three people..and no one got hit. phew. then i just missed a couple more.
as for hubby.... i'm not even sure how many he got. at least four , five, maybe six in the boat... not sure how many he missed or lost. but he did catch several. and his friend got a bunch more than either of us...when he came to get us to go fish on his boat, e said he was getting a fish on every cast....and he may have been...cuz when we got over there, i got one on my first cast. but not another one for a while...so hey, maybe i did get four in the boat.
anyhow, ya, he caught a bunch. we probably saw him catch maybe 8 or ten. i don't know, i was too busy trying to get my own fish!
so, anyways. we finally left. it was like 1 or two when we left...i don't know when we got home, but it's a loooong way out there. and it rained like hell on the ride back. baaad. we could hardly see right in front of us. and guess what happened? shit like this only happens to ME!
i mean like the chain of events in a short period of time...not just the...yes the ...we ran out of gas part! yep on our way home, in a torenchal downpour. after pouring hundreds of dollars into our boat, only to realize that the engine is down, and will cost another bunch of money to fix (maybe)....so we decide ok, we';; fish anyhow...and we get rained on all day...THEN run out of gas too!!! hmmmmmm. BUT..... the good in all of it? welll, as for the engine in the boat... jim...hubbys friend...said it may just be a cheap little part that is clogged...if thats true...we're lucky! and it could be...cuz the boat sat for so long. also... the rain...big whoop...we all caught fish. the running out of gas..... gues what? after the truck died and we got on the side of the road...after a few cranks...it started....and less than a mile down the road was a gas station!!! so we filled that sucker up and drove on home. now i'm all bathed, and exhausted. if only someone would bring me something to eat and give me a back massage, i would be set!!! but, instead... i'll just call it a good day...and i think it's lights out for me...and fend for yourselves for the rest of the clan.
how bout y'all. whadya do?

took v to the airport today. now i am just recovering and going to bed early!!
luv me
I am happy you had a good day---fishing in the rain! It sounds like fun.
oldy!..sign in you laze... sorry v had to go home, sounds like you guys had a lot of fun. what's up for you now? back to work i take it?
update yer damn blog!
jamie...as long as i catch fish... it's ALWAYS fun!!!
how was your day?
Do yall throw the fish back??!! Not us, we keep them! Bo once had to get his boat fixed cuz it sat toooo long. about a hundred bucks to get it fixed. How do you know sissy had fun? She won't write me OR blog!! Janice
janice you are fish killers!!! LOL
what was wrong with Bo's boat? stez already bought and fixed "something" he thought was the problem but it wasn't it...wasted money yet again!...but his friend said it might be the actual "little thing" LOL.. where the fuel is spitting out from...some type of fitting between two lines. who knows. i just hope it's something he/we can do ourselves and NOT take it in. and won't cost a ton of money! "they" charge way too much for repairs on boats etc.
a couple years ago, we blew our power head...that costed hundreds to get fixed. (i don't remember how much..but i do mean HUNDREDS!)
anyhow... i'm just guessin at the fun they had...she didn't write me either...the "witch bag"...thanks vicki for that word...i LOVE IT!
but come on...they went on the boat...they stayed in a treehouse..and got to see wild cats!... they got to go out to eat... and take a road trip. not to mention the stuff we don't know about. sounds like FUN to me.
latah.
... you're right about the fun. Vicki is nice. I hate it that I didn't get to see her this trip. I'll ask Bo if he knows when he gets up but he took it to a place to be fixed. He's no handyman and I doubt if he knows. Janice ps this happened TWICE
do you know if his motor has a carbeurator? ( i know, i spelled that wrong, so what)
because if it has a carb...that's an easy fix...they always gum up when not started for a long time. we don't have a carb. soooooo. it's tough to troubleshoot. we're hoping it's the fitting!!!! but do ask bo. k?
Will do. He stayed up til 4a so it'll be way after lunch b4 he gets up. I have no idea. If sissy doesn't update her blog, I'm gonna put a hit man on her! May be fish killer, but we love fish! Janice
well, she finally e mailed me. you too...did you get it? she shoulda just posted that on her blog! it was looong. doesn't all that sound so fun, and cool??? man i wish i coulda gone with them. i've never sen anything like that.
anyhow... we like fish too...just don't like cleaning them...especially catfish. we keep fish occasionally. walleye, trout, catfish etc... if that's what we are actually fishing for, and have more than just a couple...but bass always go back!
Bo said his has 3 carbs. that was the tbl--carbs gumed up. he said if its fuel injected it can gum up (injectors) if it doesn't have stabilizers even if it doesn't have carb.. ??? janice
good job!! I think it's kinda fun to fish in the rain actually. I did that last time we went to our cabin. It was pretty cool.
Fishing..... Bo WILL eat bass but doesn't care for it so he doesn't bass fish. walleye? what do u use? He LOVES that. tries to catch it and orders it when we eat out.
j...i don't mind fishing in the rain...as long as it's not COLD rain. or real windy. it didn't get terribly bad til like right when we left yesterday. it was a lot of fun.
and janice... it's too hot here for walley, so it's been a long time since we've fished for them...but we did a lot in kansas. we used LIVE LEACHES. walleye love them!!
they will also hit just about any type of orange spinner bait..or spoon type bait. but mainly we used leaches. they don't hurt ya! i'd rather fish a leach than a worm actually!
not sure about the fuel injectors...will ask.
thanks
Fishing in the rain is ok if it's not lightening! Janice
nope...if it's lightening..we get off the water! there was no lightening last time...just lotsa rain.
