I'm happy for your good parts and sorry for your bad parts. Congratulations on a good catch! Glad your Uncle is doing well. What part of Wateree? I'm wanting to go somewhere Sunday but depends on the weather. Your going again Monday? It's going to be cold, I think they said it's suppose to start out at 32 degrees? I may have my days mixed up but I think that's what they said.

GOOD report Remus. Good yall rid the lake of them perch. GOOD your uncle is ok. GOOD everything turned out out GOOD. BAD that I cant go Monday. Something bout that work thing keeps coming up that day. But Good thing is I am off Tuesday. May try em a bit.

I'm glad everything turned out in the good column............. I wonder what all this snow is gonna do to the fishing in next few day's?

Glad you are okay! Also, that your uncle is okay! Question is the phone in a bowl of rice? I tried to call you and all I heard was the your call "gargling" out the words is forwarded to voice mail.LOL Glad you got some fish out of this trip.

Glad you are both OK That's good.
The best thing for the phone is to pull the battery asap then stick it in the rice,,,,,before the rice has been boiled. No fried rice, mexican rice just plain dry rice. :-)

The last two times my daughters Iphone took a swim in the toilet ( yes has happened more than once ) I took the back off removed battery used a hair dryer to remove as much water as possible, then put in rice for a few day's............ She is still using that phone!

thanks guys uncle is right at 80 with congestive heart failure auntie said dr. said to rest for couple days and he be set to go but
that didn't stop it from scaring the stuffing out of me. when that thing cracked and he grabbed his chest and slumped over
I thought I had a dead uncle beside me. thanks again for all your concern. Uncle Remus === Robert

ps do yall think it to late for the rice thing to work== this was Thursday == I got a new phone but got stuff in old one I need out all I got back was my phone list

also we caught the fish out in the lake near beaver creek where humps came up to 21 ft out of 28 t0 30fow on north side of humps they all over the lake but you have to hunt the big ones. we had a lot of lb. fish and a few over the lb. mark. had cooler slam full hardly any room for ice. thanks again ===

hey John if you want to go tus. give me a call ill be at lake for a few days come on down

I would still give it a go.......... can't really loose anything but some cheap white rice, even if it takes more than a few day's it's worth the shot.
BTW is it a smart phone?

don't know but I hope to find out Monday and a couple more days first of week
I did hear it snowed in Columbia == did you get snow where you live?
it may have snowed hear in clover but if it did I didn't see it
we did have a thunder storm but I didn't go out to see if it was rain or snow.

I live in Lexington.........And when I woke this morning everything was covered in snow..........

no it was not to smart it jumped in 21 ft water and dragged me in with it :Rofl :Rofl lol
no really!!! it was a flip phone when I got it they said it could go 50 ft. under water and it wouldn't hurt it
I just went deep enough to loose my cap and it knocked it out the phone didn't really get wet it was in my pocket under a coat and a
thick sweat shirt all water got on it was when I pulled it out of my pocket couldn't understand it it was working then and I looked a little later
and it was dead I will try the rice thing to try to get my messages out of it thanks

You got a good chance of being ok.............. A smart phone is a lot more sensitive to water damage, and I have saved several.

Heck don't feel bad.........I walked right off the end of my porch the other morning! Jumped up looked around........ whew no one there to laugh at me.

Do I even want to fish with you two? What? Oh! I did that too! I did chip a tooth but I saved the beer! You'll crack me up telling stories to get me to fess up. LOL Robert, I do believe you will be ok with it in some rice, just leave it there for a week so it can pull the moisture out. I agree if it were a smart phone it would have stayed at the house and not drag you into the perch you were killing. Maybe it thought you wanted a close up of the fish in action.:Rofl

The older I get............ the longer the string of small brain farts gets:banghead But hey atleast I wasn't on the roof........... or chasing a phone off the boat..:yikes

That is surely a good/bad report!! So good that you were able to get back on board and get some dry cloths and that you were close to a place to rest when the uncles pacemaker went off.
Sounds like the fishing was great, nice catch and very interesting report to read :)

Boy it is never dull around Uncle Remus is it. If the perch keep biting I might have to head to Wateree. Not much doing at Murray, my buddy and his son got 14 Friday, but that is a long way from 143. Glad you and your uncle survived the trip.
I keep telling you old poots to wear your PFD, never know when your phone might go for a swim.
