Walleye, Crappie, and Bass...and a Busted Boat Trailer

[JustinHoffman]

Novemeber 15

 

Hello All,

 

Was definitely looking forward to this outing. The plan was for good buddy and fellow fishing writer, Tim Allard, and I to head up to Quebec and hopefully savour some of the bass and bluegill action that I enjoyed the previous week. Conditions were perfect – slight wind, warm temperature, and a mix of sun and cloud. What could go wrong?

 

Making our way over the Ottawa River and into Gatineau, hopes were certainly high. This was short lived. Less than a kilometre into our journey, a bump on the road, a loud “BANG”, and the extremely unpleasant sound of scraping metal. This didn’t look good. A quick look in the rear view mirror and all I see is the boat in a precarious slant on the trailer. Tim’s thought is a blown tire. My guess is a blown bearing. We were both wrong.

So you went out fishing and caught a new trailer.

 

Great report. Thanks.

Well, I signed up but I don't flip for bass so if I win I'll pick a local bass OFC member for the jig's and some YUM baits. Mind you I do like the YUM stuff so I just might keep it if I win...

[JustinHoffman]

Thanks, guys...and good luck in the contest. Will be running a bunch more of these throughout the year!

 

Good Fishing,

Hows that can of lube spray? You need a top up?

[JustinHoffman]

Hey Misfish..still have about quarter of a can left. Maybe a top up come the new year?

 

Hope the fishing/hunting season has been a good one for you, bud!

 

All the best,
