Middle of February, launching at Dale. Some nice fella has his truck and trailer backed into the water on a single lane ramp. So we back down a gravel bank to launch. In the midst of being pissed over the guy parked on the ramp, I forget to put the plug in the boat. So Billy backs the boat in, with me in it. I then realize as the boat comes off the trailer that the plug is not in....So i start yelling at Billy to pull back up. He flings the door open, goes to step out of my truck and for a moment forgets that my truck was riding on 38's with a 9 inch lift kit. So he does the splits mid air. We get the boat out of the water, get the plug in and relaunch. Air temp was 35-40 at that time. We fish around a bit, landed a couple, then out of nowhere, it starts freezing rain and sleeting. Needless to say, we were 5-6 miles from the ramp, and it was quite an interesting ride back. Nothing like sleet pelting your face on plane. Loaded the boat( by that time, the fella was kind enough to have moved his truck) and headed home. However, it was a day on the water, and a lesson or two learned.
