Thread: Check List

What popped into my mind was the number one thing on my list is me. If I cannot go then nothing else matters. Seriously there are some good things to remember in this thread. I have some things I do every trip and some that I do every now and then.

Mine is just jig poles and jigs. Plug stays in boat and on board charger stays pluged in.

plug stays in the boat? what do you do if it rains on your trip home? i like the idea because I have bad dreams all the time of forgetting to plug the boat...but I was taught to remove it before the trip home.....I would rather leave it in all the time.

I check to make sure my plug is in the night before I go, then the morning before I leave the house and a final check right before I launch....forgot it once 58 years ago.....never want to do that again.....I take it out before I leave the launch coming home....

I've got a rechargeable jump starter/air compressor that I always make sure is charged and in the boat. It's been used more by other people at the ramp or on the water than I have used it - always somebody at the ramp with dead battery or a low tire on their trailer! And, it sure is a comfortable feeling knowing that I have it with me when my battery gauge drops a little low from electronics and live well pumps!

My boat is a aluminum boat so if it's not a heavy rain by the next trip the water is out from the heat if not I just use a empty bottle and bail it out. Guess I'm used to it from frogging and going places I should.

In one of the dry boxes behind the seat, I have a cup which holds the keys, plug, and I-pilot remote. Can't pick out the keys without removing the plug first, so it's in hand when I retrieve the keys. I figure I won't forget that way. Yes, it has happened to me as well. Probably 25+ years ago. Also have a set routine when unloading/loading the boat and don't want anyone helping me because of my set routine.
