Fishing trip Yesterday

Went to Melvern first, nothing no bites no fish on screen the dead sea. Decided to clorox up the boat and head to Dragoon creek, put in water looking good, not seeing much on HDS dipped a couple of piles on the way up stream, nothing, got as far up stream as we could go because of Ice, was fishing a snag with a lot of big limbs, When we went to leave my partner was backing us out of the snags, I was standing in the front trying to fend of a snag when wind caught front of boat and the snag hit me and overboard I went. Was able to surface and grab boat gunnel worked to back of boat was able to climb in with help of partners, Took me 10 minutes before I was able to talk. Water temp was 41. damn that was cold, luck the day was warm so I thawed out quickly. Do not want to do that again.

Topping the day off when we got to the boat ramp my truck would not start, after messing around found the self prime on top of fuel pump hit that a few times and we got going. Will the truck is fixed and I am warmed up headed to Pamona in AM hoping for better trip.

Snags?

It is very scary to fall into cold water. With all your clothes soaking in water, you get real heavy. Add the fact every second you get weaker,,, well this story has a good end. Glad you got out and no lasting injuries. Just a lasting memory as to just how dangerous this can be. <*)}}}><

Just wasn't your day yesterday. Glad you're ok and better luck today hopefully!

Yeah has to get better right??????????????
