    Default How to save thousands


    I hope to help others save. Too late for me.
    I'm posting this as part of my court mandated "public service". (another story best reserved for another forum)
    So here it is:
    You'd love to buy the Lowrance Super Mother Finder but dropping 2000+ just feels wrong. Plus your marriage counselor say your spending is putting extreme stress on the relationship. Blah blah blah.....
    (whatever, you know at today's fish prices you're saving money in the long run)
    So here is the plan.
    1.Go get a good GPS for your boat
    2. Launch the boat and wait for an obvious crappie fishermen to stray into your web.
    3. Make sure he has a huge fish finder on there, he should barely be able to see around it.
    4. Follow him around all day, pretending to fish 50 yds away.
    5 . Soon as he pulls up his trolling motor, you start your big ( 25 Hp) motor
    6. As he leaves the spot, you swing over it. Mark it and follow all day.
    7. As he quits for the day, you decide to stay out a little longer. No need in clogging up the ramps.

    Perfectly legal
    If shot, you can sue for the fish finder

    Only if you survive getting shot

    And while it may very well be "legal" ... it's not very "ethical".

    Not to mention ... you don't NEED several thousand dollars worth of electronics to find cover & fish, and mark them on your GPS capable depthfinder. Couple hundred and you're good to go. (and you'll have a lot more $$ to "go" on, too !! )

    It's already happening...

    Pretty obvious what a "idle by glitter boat" is doing when he idles past me at 50 yards with his nose stuck in his console mounted big screen...

    I just aim my SI beam at him and frizz up his screen with interference...

    To save many more thousands and have enough money to buy whatever FF you would ever want.

    To put it into software engineer terms NEVER I repeat NEVER upgrade Girlfriend 1 version. to Wife any version.

    If you choose to ignore this advice. You go down the slippery slope of constant expensive upgrades :

    Honeymoon Version- Old No# 4

    Shoe Shopping - any version

    Jack Daniels Immersion- version # 7

    Dissolution or Splitsville -- version ohnoI812

    etc etc etc.

    Or you could do like me (which I do know I am a very lucky man). Marry a girl that is very laid back and doesn't care how much you fish because she knows I could be doing worse things. In fact after about two weekends of being at the house she starts asking when in the &@$? am I going fishing because I am driving her crazy. Then to boot she works for one of the biggest shooting and marine distributors in the country and I get everything at their cost and a lot at manufacturers cost. Then the conversation never goes toward how much money the stuff is costing us but how much it is saving us.

    Pretty suspicious how she wants you out of the house all the time.

    JK I am jealous.
