You sure like to make assumptions when trying to prove a point. You can fall out of a big or small boat, it really doesn't matter. You ever set lines in rough water? A PFD is great for keeping you on the surface, but in cold temps it doesn't help with hypothermia. Your best bet is to get back on the boat. Without a tether, you've got zero chance of this. Talk about using common sense, lol.

I guess we are in an age of no multi-tasking. Why can't the tether have 2 purposes? For the fishing I do, the tether would have far more usefulness to let me get back into the boat than protecting others. Most often the days and places I fish there might not be anyone around for kilometers. The notion that my runaway boat would hit something or someone would be pretty unlikely. Having said that, their are some who fish in more crowded environments...in those cases the prevention of a boat ramming someone might be more relevant. Seems to me the tether has at least 2 good functions!

Tie on your most expensive lure without a wire leader on, that'll definitely locate you some pike! (Might get expensive though haha)

To only be able to float on them,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

And I did honey mustard pork tenderloins on rice vermicelli noodles last night but as usual did not take a photo. It was pretty toothsome... Tonight it is a wild turkey breast in the slow cooker, done with a rib rub. It smells pretty good right now, hope it tastes as good! Doug

That’s a big 10-4 Bill

I have a cheap Shimano 4000 series I take down south. Rinse it off.

Great photo

Awesome picture Brian, almost looks like mountains. Your weather is much better than over here, we've had heavy rain and non-stop thunder & lightening all afternoon, infact our powers been out for 3 hours....but Mister Generac is looking after us 🙂

Rinse your gear after a day of fishing and what you use now will be just fine.

My boat is full until it’s on a quarter tank LOL, and it’s a 2009.

It's all good Sir, I didn't see it as bashing, just someone desperate to find me. I'm going to do whatever I can to help him even though the rod blank was discontinued some time ago.
