Life on a Creek

General Off Topic
1

I have the pleasure of living on a nice Creek.I also have a nice boat lift that makes it easy to get in and out of the water.I take a lot of people fishing and enjoy watching them catch fish.Here is where i get pissed.When invited to get on my rig get your sorry ass on the boat at the time i tell you to arrive.I have a tide to worry about and If i miss my tide you die.Have a nice day.:smiley:

Yep! Nice way to get another invite:face_with_head_bandage:

Just bump up the time you want those no good assclowns to arrive by 30 minutes…

LOL I do and some still arrive late.I swear i may just leave them and go.However with the new rig it is not as critical.I can move around in less the 2 feet of water and get out of the creek.

Yesterday friend came and tried to get off the lift and could not.I had marks boat on the lift and the three of us tried to pull it off the lift and just gave up.I may get Ashley to drop the lift about 4 inches.Any lower and the cable unwraps.

Worst trip I had ever was i invited a couple of club guys to fish with me.Well one brought an unexpected guest that weight about 400 pounds plus.No &@&$t.We loaded up and the 22 foot sea hunt listed.I had to sit him in the middle of the boat.We got on plane after a long drag.Got to the spot and the guy gets up and again we had to counter balance this guy.He gets up on the deck and drops the carolina rig on the deck,steps on the lead and knocked a piece of the non slip out of the deck.i said man sit your ass down your killing my boat.One guy hook a redfish and the hulk got up and almost knocked the guy with the rod over the side.That was it for me.I took them back and said sorry buddy i need a barge to haul you around.He laughed and offered to pay for the floor i said i got it.

Uusually it’s “No Fat Chicks”. Guess you gotta add “No Fat Dudes” as well. My Dad had a rule. The boat, car whatever left at AIS time. If yours wasn’t in the seat you got left.

I am with you Joe, nothing chaps my behind like being late.

Joe, my favorite was my nephew nearly dumping you in the water several years ago. You let him sneak your boat up onto a school of mullet so you could toss the net, and he was used to his dad’s older boat with a sticky throttle, not your nearly-new Yamaha. He goosed it and nearly dumped you out. I thought you were going to hit him with the net lol!

Saying “I am offended” is telling everyone else that you cannot control your own emotions, and thus you need everyone else to do it for you.

I may be late to work every now and then, but i am never late to a fishing trip:smiley:

with you Jimmy, never late for fishing trip an being retired never
late for anything now. In fact at lease 30 minute early now.

I used to never be late to a fishing trip, but since I take my young son with me (5yrs old), I get to where I plan my fishing trips around knowing that I’ll be an hour late. So that, when I’m late, I’m still on time, and everyone is happy.

Who in the heck in their right mind would think to bring an unexpected 400 pound dude on the boat? And think it was ok? There is no way that guy grew up fishing.

17

I weigh over 300lbs and would never just show up unexpected on someones boat, I know I will move the boat around when I move. When I ride in one of my rock crawling buddy’s rigs I refer to myself as ‘Ballast’
“Ballast move left, Ballast move back, Ballast GET OUT!” LOL

You cannot be as fat as I am and not prepare ahead of time for your ‘ballast’ characteristics.
Pretty rude of that guy to show up unexpected, I would have told him that without any hesitation.

Theres nothing like the "Smell" and sounds of the creek. Its not just one thing that makes it familiar..its all of it.

Now that is funny

Maybe try it this way: “I will be leaving the dock at 8:30. If you want to go, you need to be in my driveway 15 minutes before that.”

If you’re lucky enough to be fishing, you’re lucky enough.

In sales, we call this “Lombardi Time” as in Vince Lombardi:
If you’re ‘on time’, you’re late. If you’re 15 minutes early, you’re ‘on time’.
