Glad to know that you survived and ok.Sorry I was not around to help was in third oxbow south of castle.

Wow glad you are ok. I am always afraid of going in and becoming part of the food chain.

now that's a great tip hope i remeber that one if i ever fall out

That reminds me of a trip I made to Lacassine several years ago. Got my line hung up in the prop so I lifted the motor, no need to push the pin to stay in place b/c it sticks pretty good on its on, well needless to say it didn't stick this time and I went overboard! It was cold that morning too! I ALWAYS keep a change of clothes in my truck now!

A splash is a planned event and a sploosh is the result of goofiness. :)
