He hollars "Yer straps are dragging" .... Then I recall. when I exited the ramp and was tying my boat down, the trim tabs were down, I hung my straps on the hooks
then got back into boat to push buttons to raise trim tabs = forgot about straps hanging on back .....
Fortunately, they did not fall off (SS) AND, got no road rash to the nylon webbing = all is good .........
Mike, yep I know about the "strickly jigs" thing, but, being born and raised a minnow feller, I just can't stand it if I'm just using jigs and ain't catching nothing,
then I think "well, if I only had minnows I might of done better, so, I'm stuck with using jigs tipped with minnows = Just to be sure ..................
Ain't never been able to shake it .........................................
(Plus my bait guy gives me free ice) = so I give him business = nice guy etc, etc, etc ............
Wear your PFD!!!!!
This is the day the Lord hath made, rejoice and be glad in it.
