BUMMER![/b] The things we go through to catch small stripers.
Was out in my side yard on Saturday morning at 4:00am. Wind was blowing hard. My pard Don pulls up with his diesel. "Sure you want to go?" I ask. "Yep" was his reply. We hook up and head out. Stopped at the light at Lake Mead and Boulder Highway, the flags were flying proud, snapping in the wind. "Sure you want to go?" I ask. "Yep" was his reply. Pulled up to the launch, headlights showed waves breaking on the ramp. Both the ramp dock and fishing dock were bobbing up and down in the water. Two boats were moving about the cove, their lights moving up and down in the swell. Never seen this cove with waves like that before. "Sure you want to go?" I ask. "Nope, it's only going to get worse" was his reply. So we did something we have never done before.....turned around and headed home.
Sorry to hear about the damage to your vehicle Stripercraze, but before hearing your bad news, I'd been feeling like a chicken for turning back. I feel better now! [
