Does anyone know how to lift a hex from someone?
It seems like everything I do lately, everything gets a little twisted. Here is a couple of examples. I am running down the waterway tonight at about 3/4 throttle, almost sank a little jon boat with no running lights. Of course I get cursed. I don't feel as if it is my fault. If you are going to be out and about at night, install some running lights. I know it is a holiday weekend, but my first six or seven holes I pull up to, seems to have 20 tow-rows in them.(local term for weekenders, no offense guys
). I pull in to my first one, its not quite dark yet. I sling 5 or 6 flounder in the boat, and the three or four boats close by can see what I am doing.
Well its time to move. I fire the motor up and before you know it I am leading a flotilla of flounder boats. I go on through the night very irritated, but keep my cool. I lose several nice fish tonight. Unusual. I might lose one or two small ones on any given night. I have the duct seal on a light come off. The first time ever! I get zapped by the generator before I realized something was wrong. I take the light loose, and put new seal on it. Five minutes later, that light blows. I get that fixed, look behind me, and my "flounder flotilla" has tripled. "alright I'll fix this problem", I crank up and run a few miles up the water to Jacksonville. Plenty of flounder up there. Too bad they were all between 6-12in.. All 200 of them. I'm changing the oil in my lower unit yesterday. I drop the top screw on the ground. Have yet to find it! Must have fallen through a portal to another dimension. Had to go buy another. I bought two bags of gulp pogies one day this week, and three packs of storm shrimp. Set them on my porch so I wouldn't forget to put them in my tackle box. come in to eat dinner, couldn't have been more than twenty minutes, and my friendly neighbor racoons had already stolen them. Wednesday I went to get ny truck and down the boat ramp. I had one flat tire on my truck, and one on my trailor. Get that taken care off. Coming home from work Thursday, the idler pulley goes out on my truck. My last three or four fishing trips have been horrible.
