Prior to heading to the Derby, calibrate all measuring instruments and be advised that old cloth tape measures can shrink that all important 1/4" over time. My teammate, Renegade6 may wish to elaborate.

On a somewhat related note, setting your drag for albie fishing as if you are trying to muscle a cow out of a boulder field is a recipe for disaster.

Lastly, air mattresses, no matter how new, do not play well with crippled herring.

I should write a book........
