E.B.'s Big Boat Ride

While we were spider rigging the rip rap at Blocker Saturday, we received a visit from two nice fellas in a big Blue Wave deep vee boat. They had on very nice uniforms, and they invited E.B aboard their boat.

They then suggested that my son Brett and I go fishing while they visit with E.B.. I am assuming that they wanted to show him their boat??? Brett and I felt a tad bit left out.

After a bit, they brought him back and the three if us went back to fishing.

He never said much about their boat or their visit, but did mutter something under his breath about them giving him a free ticket for some event or something????

Maybe Brian can fill us in on the nature of the visit.:rolleyes:Rofl

Was it the Crappie Pirates????

If it's what I think it is I wouldn't be posting it? Kinda like the greeting everyone got at the Tournament, Lake patrol checked all of them and crawled up every compartment!

May have been. They did ask to see our craooies.:rolleyes::D

I hope he had his license to guide since it is required now. If it was for that how and the heck would they know he was out guiding and which boat he was in.

x2!

Ouch! This doesnt sound good.:(

Perhaps there's a fox in the henhouse?

You'd be surprised if you knew all the different people that monitor this forum, especially when it is related to Lake Eufaula.

LOL it is always good when you go fishing in someone elses boat remember to bring your license. Funny thing was they want me to take them on a trip. So I said you give me a ticket then you want me to take you crappie fishing. I knew one of them and he is the one who gave me the ticket. He said if I go show the clerk my license they void the ticket! So no big deal it was my fault for not having my license with me. In fact we run into the same rangers 3 years ago and he put us on a pretty good spot.

Nope, he wasn't guiding, he just went fishing with us.

No kidding though? You have to have a license to guide here now? What's next? the license costs a few grand, and then the guide fees hit $300 per trip and then up from there? check Colorado or Wyoming if you want to see the future here in that regard.

???? What did you think it was?


No folks, Brian told it all, and my post was all in good fun and a meager attempt at humor.

IMHO, game wardens are the sportsman's best friend.

Granted, some of them get a little carried away, but on the overall, they are there to protect the resources that we love, and as long as we are legal, there is nothing to dislike about them. On the overall, I thnk we enjoyed their visit Saturday, though for Brian....perhaps not quite as much as Brett and I.:D

Brian, I got your voice mail today and returned the call. Tag, you're it.
