    Default I tried to sink TonyJohn!


    Me and TonyJohn hit Palarm today and the current was un fishable!
    Got several hits but they were so deep in the brush they were hard to land.

    So we took out up river only to find it was WAY to windy...
    TonyJohn, in his stick steer boat "Making it front heavy" took a pounding by 4' waves! !!ROFL!! I thought we were going to have to send out a Mayday!
    All is good, except for his smokes...
    We'll just have to try it again next time!

    Heh.. I took a few days off this week in the hope of doing some fishing. I put in at Pierce today. My intention was to skirt the bank to see if any bream had come shallow as I made my way to the 89 bridge to throw some crappie jigs there. I didn't make it very far before I decided the wave height-to-pucker-factor didn't pass the smell test. At one point, between the wind and the waves, I got put on a stump and started teetering in the waves. Granted this was only in 6 feet of water, but I wasn't too keen on getting wet and losing my gear. My trusty Tohatsu got me off the stump, at which point I said a little prayer, put on my life jacket, and puttered back to the landing.
