Chick Bass / 2-2-08 / BBass and Flip

[Buoy-Master]

Man what a day it was...

</p>

Started off getting out of bed at 4:30. (normal for me nowadays!) made coffee, messed around on the internet and made a few post here then got bored. Decided to load my gear up and head out to the waflle House for a big breakfast. Tried to call Flip but no answer. Got to waffle house, ate breakfast, read a good article in a Cabela magazine..left there and tried to call Flip, no answer. Went over to 153 walmart, got a few XRaps and got rid of breakfast. LOL. Left there and called Flip...no answer. </p>

Got to the ramp above the dam around 7 and sat around reading some more and called flip another 2 times...NO ANSWER! We were meeting at 7:30. So at 7:40 something, my phone rings...guess who! Yea, Flip,

"where you at Billy"... "Im at the ramp Flip"... "Guess where I'm at"... "At Home?"..."yea, just got up, I drank a bit too much Vodca" 

 </p>

SO... Flip makes it there around 8:45...arg. Yea, I gave him hell! They should have a warning label on that stuff! <font color="#ff0000">" WARNING, DRINKING THIS MAY CAUSE A HOUR DELAY ON DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME"</font> </p>

After thawing out the plug hole and Flip gathering his bearings, getting dressed in something warm and unhooking the boat, we finally got in the water.</p>

Water temp was around 44. Fished Jerk Baits and Silver buddies without much luck. Flip did get a cat on an Xrap. He was a happy camper..

</p>

Slow go so we moved to a bluff line and ran into JSV...well we ran close enough to him to consider it running into him. LOL. Right before he came over, I managed a nice 2 pound spot on 4 pound test and the Drumking crappie special. (picture doesnt show...good fat belly on it) Was fun for about 20 seconds.

  Jason said he had about 11 or 12 crappie but mentioned it was slow. Seen Treeman...same story, SLOW</p>

Made a few more runs and got a few little bream then decided to try the docks and rip rap around Erwin marine. same thing...SLOOOW. Flip did however manage to get 3 bass in each opening back there. I think they were the only ones! </p>

2pm and we had enough! Time to call it a day and go take a nap. </p>

Even though my pal was late, I still had a great time out there. Most of you know how we cut up and theres never a dull moment. Heres a few pics..

 Hope your still alive Flip!</p>

Flip, you old catman on the Xrap. Didn't you know that you aren't supposed to catch cats on Xraps? I had a similar experience when I caught that cat last summer on a rattlin' chug bug out in the bay. Thanks for the report guys.

</p>

Whats wrong with me? I'm old and ugly, stayed up too late, drank a few more than I needed to. Forgot to set the alarm too. I had a good time even though we couldnt seem to get on many fish. Naturally, Billy said he would have caught alot more fish from 7:30 to 8:30

</p>

Now thats funny! Although he wasnt driving the last wreck...still funny!!!!</p>

 

[SNUFFY]

Oh Man ...Flipper that`s cold !!!

 

[beetlespin]

That's pretty funny flip. I'm just glad it didn't tip over! That would have really sucked. I will have to say though that the boat has absolutely been flawless since that little incident. Now it just needs to find some fish!

I even got the privilege of seeing BS drive by us at Mach 14 today at the nuke. How come you cant get anyone to ride with you BS???

 

[beetlespin]

I had Joe with me. He was just laying down behind the passenger console to stay dry. You probably saw those other two Allisons out there. Both of them are smaller and they were flying.
