Hearing from a new partner or boater... I don�t know what�s wrong, I caught them here yesterday

The first, and foremost, annoying thing is waiting on slow, stupid, unorganized boaters launch(or try) their boats. Then they find out that since they haven�t been to the lake in the POS in 6 months or more, that the battery is dead, the gas it turned to kerosene, etc. Then the hillbillies think they can fix it ON THE RAMP.

Next most annoying thing is co anglers throwing rattle traps 60 yards behind the boat, WHERE YOU JUST LEFT, for one last try....then getting hung on [censored] and looking like a sick baby and pleading about how it�s their last one. Even though it hasn�t caught a fish all day. <<<< the main reason I fish almost every team event with �Solo� as my partner.

I can go on and on. And I am the easiest to get along with guy and I�m pretty laid back, it these two things get under my skin pretty fast. The boat ramp stuff has almost gotten my butt whooped a few times. I can�t resist telling them that they are the dumbest idiots I�ve seen all day.

I always get up early enough to get things moving before getting out on the water, but having my partner start crying about having to go 30 minutes into every tournament is getting pretty old. Lol

My wife is my number one fishing partner, it is irritating when she will not tell me if she is coming with me until the morning of -- "I'm not sure if I am going to go or not, I will see how I feel in the morning."
I wouldn't trade her for anything!

Wife calls your cell phone right at take off wanting you to check to see if she left her car keys in the console of your truck...�����..

Wind is your Friend

You get half way to the lake and your non-boater says, "Hey! I forgot my license. It's in my truck, we gotta go back and get it!"

Or, you get half way to the lake and remember that you left the boat keys on the kitchen counter.


Both true stories

got couple of buddies that drove 120 miles to fish a tourney and ended up fishing with trolling motor because the boat owner forgot his key to the boat....simple way to prevent that and forgetting to put plug in....DON'T TAKE EITHER ONE OUT OF THE BOAT.....

Or keep a spare in boat compartment and truck.

I�ve left my boat keys on the rear deck. Back tracked 40 miles. Found them on a big curvy overpass, but could stop with the boat. Went two miles up the highway and turned around. Went back 4 miles to get back to where I could take the exit to the overpass ...again. With no traffic. I stopped on the over pass and ran over and grabbed the floating key fob, to find out that the ignition key was mangled from being run over. Lol.

4 hours later, I had a riding lawn mower ignition in the boat. It worked for a couple weeks until I got a Sierra replacement.

agree with ya there on the draw partner co anglers which is why I dont fish a few clubs I joined and left. When there is only a 1 in 5 chance at the draw for a partner I wont get a dumb [censored] Im out.

So I fixed that problem...

I have a floating key ring on my boat key. I've think I've owned 14 boats over the years and every one of them has had a floating key ring. Yet I can't for the life of me ever remember once removing my boat key for any reason. But I would bet a hundred dollars if I took that floater off I would somehow end up with a key on the bottom of the lake within a week.

I need to do this! I find myself re tieing way too often!
