Joey Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Well our Lund got her first slime today Headed down to Oakville to arrive around 7:30 a.m. Nice on shore, a tad cold out on the water, but we were prepared. 10 a.m. Paul sees a school of baitfish on the fishfinder and moments later it was fish on. First fish to slime the boat. We almost got a double header. As soon as this picture was taken the next line went off. My turn up. Set all the lines out again and trolled back through the same bait fish pile and whamo. This nice 33 incher and entry for Joey's Jiggers' team Same thing happened. As Paul was reviving this fish, off goes another line, my turn again. This one gave a great fight and did some acrobatics for us. It was just shy of the 33 incher Paul had just released but I think it's girth was a bit bigger. So it was a great day to be out there and nice to christen the boat Boat Ramp Bozo's Episode Funny thing happened in the parking lot. A guy came down with an extended van with no rear windows towing a zodiak. He came and chatted with me and said he was a scuba diver but was going to give fishing a try. Never had and was pretty ill prepared. Had no riggers or anything but was going to Salmon fish out deep So as we're packing up we hear a nice crunch and notice that as he was backing up the trailer basically jacknifed and was jammed almost under the van's bumper. Then he got out and looked, got back in and continued to back up *Crunch Crunch*. So he gets out and looks and I told him to drive forward and around the parking lot to start again. He says he's afraid to do that cause he might hit something. Said he thought the trailer would just go straight back and follow the van backwards He finally listens and then pulls around to start the launch again and then gets out and asks Paul if he can help him. Paul goes over and looks and the whole trailer is bent and the bumper has a big dent in it. He tells the guy that he's going to have problems even getting the trailer to travel safely now. The guy just says "Oh well, I'll just call my bud and he'll come down and help me, he's just around the corner." So he was still there waiting as we left. We wished him luck and I said to Paul "That is just an accident waiting to happen now." Hope it turns out well for him Cheers, Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do less damage that way. JF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
