I don't know how you no boaters do it!!!!

[Jmax]

I guess by now most of you know my trailor was hit by another trailor at the last CFF in the HBSP parking lot.emoAngry I was glad that RR and fishinvol were there when it happened and called me. Me and CCSM had cuaght so many that we had decided to stay a little longer and catch some more. As soon as I got the call I haled over there and met the folks that had hit me. They were very nice and apoligetic, gave me numbers and names but I still got a police report. They have since then sent me the money to pay for the repairs and my boat is now at the shop with repairs to the trailor being done. However I was thinking I have had a boat since my 10th grade in high school, 37 years straight. A little flat bottem with a small engine and a minkota 15.emoBigsmile From there it was a Ouachita tub boat, a little alluminum home made bass boat, a tide craft, two Champions, and then the Ranger I got now. I am going through a cold turkey type of situation knowing if I wanted to I could not go out on the lake fishing!emoDoh I don't know how much longer I can last!!!!emoBawl Even when I was not actually going I think it was the knowing it was there that kept me sane. I better be getting my boat back by week end or you all may see me on the news,"Local man goes looney and jumps off the bridge at 58 on Chickamauga."emoLaugh Jmax

Now you feel my pain!!!!emoLaugh

Hang in there Jmax, you have a support group to help you through this trying time

 

[BackOnTheWater]

Not to sound "in-sensitive", but maybe I can catch a few fish if you're not out there every day making their mouths sore!emoPoke

I feel your pain, man...emoSorry

 

[Fishin' Junkie]

hang in there Jmax, hopefully it will be ready by Friday. Temps are going to back into the 70's by then.

I guess you could come join me for some bank fishin' at the Riverpark. emoPoke

 

[TennesseeTalker]

emoPoke Whinner! Boy isn't that just like a person ... have to be inconvenienced just a week or so for repairs and crying about it like its a major infraction against mankind. Well us bank beaters have to put up with watching you boat travelers EVERY DAY! It's us .. standing on the bank with a pitiful look on our faces and a rod and reel in our hands hoping against odds to be lucky enough to have the fish come to us today. Oh we can move around some ... but our 10% of fishable waters is way more limited than yours. Imagine what it's like to know this is your fate ... 365 DAYS A YEAR unless someone is nice enough to give you a lift!

emoBawl emoBawl JMax emoBawl emoBawl At least you have only 7 to 14 days of trials and tribulations related to your fishing.



emoDance emoDance emoDance I feel better ... you?


Just pulling your leg .. I know its miserable to depend on something you have control of .. and now you don't. Sometimes just knowing its out there waiting if you want it ... is comforting. I'm sorry you are having withdrawls .. but your whoppers are waiting for you I'm sure and you'll be back to posting pics and stories soon.

I'm just glad the folks owned up to their accident ... someone hit my hubby's trailer at River Park once and never bothered to leave squat. That stinks.

<font color="#ff0066">Jmax's problem.....TT, don't be mean cause it affected me too...we were goin fishing and had to cancell it.... Now, if Jmax decides to jump off the bridge, I will be selling tickets for this event....probably could make some solid cash...Jim, let me know ahead of time and we will work something out......LOL</font>

 

[timbo]

Think of it this way...you're saving money on gas! Maybe it's a good time to try out a canoe or kayak?

 

[drumking]

Don't worry, Jmax! I'll take you just as soon as I get my boat out of the shop! emoBigsmile emoGeezer

 

[Jmax]

What a support group!emoGrouphug I just love you guys and gals. I am doing better now that the sun is starting to set. If it is raining tomorrow that will also help. I did do some scouting today by hitting up some of my buddies that are not on the forum and will not be fishing the SW Tx and got a report or two.emoEvil All is fair in love, war and fishing.emoCool Jmax

 

[Liveliner]

Roll call...Who all has a boat in the shop or out of Commission right now. Sure seems like a bunch by all the reports.

 

[MrWiskers]

I had this happen to me twice last year. First my carbs were stopped up and then I blew up my motor. I feel for you and you are right, knowing you cannot go is the worst, even if you would not have went in the first place.

 

[Socrates]

Sorry to hear about your luck! I'll make you feel better. I bought a boat 2 weeks ago from a fellow CFFr, and my hitch wont even be here until Friday! LOL, Hope to see you on the water, maybe you can teach me how to NOT run off the fish!

 

[DoubleB]

You can't miss what you've never had...

Now, maybe some of you will feel bad for me and invite me into the back seat from time to time.
