Just a few lines to report that the wind was howling down the river ! whitecaps, at least two foot waves , looked like the bay !
Pulled up to the ramp and in a macho voice reminded the wife that this was her idea !
Launched the boat , backed out with waves breaking on the transom (spraying me) and made a bee-line to the nearest creek..........
Hey not too bad out of the chop, a little wind but bearable.........
BAM hit a tree I guess , came to a sudden stop, no damage except to the nerves............. a side note we were WAY up the creek with no trolling motor(next year) .
Bein in a narrow creek the question always presents itself "can bears swim?" , the wife informed me NC Wildlife MAG said they can and do......
She didn`t hesitate to push us away from the bank when too close
Caught a few small gils ( our sizing system= bigger than a bean) these were half beaners , after making our way back out and to the river thought we would try another creek close by before calling it a day .
Caught a few small gils and two raccoon perch , released them all for another time ..........
Made a dash for the ramp and came on home , another great day to remember
