Sometimes you'll get a "double header", a mating pair :eek:

Anything that bounces bottom can snag a 'shoe---especially when they're uh, preoccupied :D

I've had em try and hump my leg... in waders of course... i felt so violated....
wading one hot august night 4 or so years ago one bumped my leg/foot wearing bathing suit and sandles... I jumped out of the water and landed 200yards away on the beach...
what a wus... :D

i feel like a wuss after fishing with eben last night. it was demoralizing out there...

RIROCKHOUND 06-22-2004 09:27 AM

it was a bit puffy.. I went and hid on an East facing shoreline and didnt do chit... oh well...

bart 06-22-2004 09:32 AM

i took two nice dingers on the rocks, banged up my guide and my knees, didn't get squat....

RIROCKHOUND 06-22-2004 09:34 AM

Sucks... did that last week, the night after I gave some glass blower chit for taking a header and then breaking a stick,
I took one, but didnt drop my rod... banged my knee pretty solid... but as my old man used to say walking the rocks, one hand for you, one for the rod... I dont let go :D

did you guys go to that cool, semi remote spot that's got some current?

bart 06-22-2004 09:43 AM

i don't believe so. i never done the submerged boulder shuffle in the dark before. it was interesting to say the least. fishing with Eben put a lot things in perspective last night...

bart 06-22-2004 09:44 AM

about my fishing knowlege and ability that is....

RIROCKHOUND 06-22-2004 10:05 AM

Well, if it put love and life in perspective then you have issues... check ya PM's

that's why I fish with eben, you know the old saying "if you wanna look like a pro surf fisherman, hang out with googans"
it also works with "if you wanna look skinny":laughs:

RIROCKHOUND 06-22-2004 02:14 PM

Thats just mean :D
so do people fish with me just to look tall?:smash:

Nebe 06-22-2004 05:07 PM

Ahh Bart.. twas a bit rocky, but you've never been there in the day. remember I almost took a digger too... If I had more time to fish we would have found the fish.

sometimes fishing poles make great walking sticks..... reembr that

ThrowingTimber 06-23-2004 07:14 AM

RIROCKHOUND 06-23-2004 09:21 AM
