irishfield Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 (edited) Had to bail on the BOQ trip due to the logistics of Jen's chemo schedule being changed... but I still really needed a fishing fix. Contacted a certain individual that told me "last minute" notice was good 'till 10pm Friday night. I skipped the customer stuff Friday and got the boat ready for Muskie hunting instead.. and at 2:30 I contacted said individual to find out that he was now out as he'd forgot it was his wife's birthday!! .almost got those locks changed... Sent glen an email and luckily he was online.. 10 minutes to find a babysitter and he was in. We were on the water by 9:10am this morning and crossing the open water between Midland and the back channel was interesting to say the least. 35K gusting 58K directly out of the North. 6 to 8 footers rolling in no certain pattern.. was a fun ride and by drain plug at end of day we probably took on 50 gallons of water. Video never pays conditions justice!! Trolled a good 45 miles today in all sorts of contours and structure and came up with nothing but a GREAT day on the water. Thanks for sharing the day Glen and giving me a much needed breather from reality for the day. It also got the new engine oils spread around and the the fuel stabilzer thru the systems, so that was great as well. Hopefully we can get out again before the ramp freezes in ! <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NshMrSMBzRo?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param'>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NshMrSMBzRo?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NshMrSMBzRo?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object> Edited November 21, 2010 by irishfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irishfield Posted November 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Just another day on the water Paul.. I've been bobbing around out there since 1981. I've put waves completely over a 26' full cabin Searay stuffing the nose straight in and had the wave roll right up over the bow and windshield almost swamping the boat.

The funny part of the day.. well two of them. #1 watching 3 guys spend over an hour and a half trying to get unhooked from a submersible cable! #2 driving by a buck in the field, just before Marty passed us in his truck after leaving here from hunting!

fishhunter Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 well glad to see you got on the water Wayne. Would have much rather had you in my boat helping land big gold things. I knew what you had on your plate so all good and we will do it next year god willing. I wish your daughter all the best and we will talk soon.

bigbuck Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 Looks like you gave the bilge pump a workout that day along with your sphincter muscles. Quite a bit of pucker factor there. Still, looks like fun battling the waves. I've been out in 4-6 footers in that water and it can be very interesting to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 . I've been out in 4-6 footers in that water and it can be very interesting to say the least.
