Havin Fun At Grenada

**ScottV** · 04-02-2011, 08:27 PM

Here's how our first day went. Steve and I got up early and decided we'd drive to Graysport Landing and put in. We headed north up Hwy 8, nobody told me that Carver's Point was where we wanted to go. So we drove past our turn and went another 10 or so miles until we figured out we had screwed up. So we turned around in the middle of the hwy and went back. We finally found the landing and with the Crappie Masters going on, it was full. We looked on the map and decided we'd go to Choctaw landing. After about 10 miles of rough road we got there. We launched the boat and parked the truck 1/4 mile up the road. We caught 3 keepers and decided we'd leave so we could make the weigh in for the tourney. After finally getting the boat loaded we were going back up the rough road and I noticed my trailer wheel wobbling in the mirror. I had broken the outside bearing and the hub and wheel came off. I jacked it up, finished removing the wheel, and went to try to find parts. Steve stayed and guarded the boat. Luckily, I found a trailer dealership and got the two bearings, grease seal and dust cap. I now know how to pack and install bearings. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Dang Scott, that sucks!!!! Glad everything turned out OK. Hopefully we will be down there sometime this week. Looks like some weather rolling in Monday.

Hope you can make it down and look us up Speck. They are talking winds of 20 to 30 mph both Sun. and Mon. so I guess we will be sitting those two days out. I did catch one that weighed 2 lb 1 oz on my little digital scale. That's just a good keeper here.

Sorry to hear that Scott. Don't let the old man get too much sleep, he needs to stay active.

HaHa I probably said a few choice words. LOL All in all I feel pretty lucky. I was going 70 mph yesterday on I55. Plus I think the good Lord put that trailer parts place there.
