Fishing by yourself

[PRO V LE]

Reminds me of a not to pleasant story (or two)...

Night fishing at the dam (always makes her nervous anyway) and couldn't lock back through b/c barge after barge after barge came through. I made the mistake of a few choice words for the lock master and next thing you know the sun is up before he let me go back through. No cell service below Markland which she didn't know. That trip **** near cost me my marriage.

Also, got stuck on a shoal in the C-land river once. Beached my boat and didn't notice the water drop. I think I made it back to fish camp about the same time PRO V LE was on the phone with the coast guard... I don't feel too bad because if I remember my stories right I think my mom had to call the guard on him at least once....lol.

That's my boy! you have to teach them young to become a" hard head Ky Redneck"
Guy's he is a fishin fanatic and is probaly up there with the best on catching Giant Blue Cats. He can also land a trophy Striper at will most times. I have seen him release a 8+ LM from The big O.
We lost my mother and Lowerider's grandma this week, so this fishin season is dedicated to Grandma!

I'm another loneangler.Itell my companion where I will attempt to launch and fish, and about what time to expect me home. heres the problem folks. When you get cell phone reception, which is rare on dale, and somertimes on cumberland, WHO is going to look for you or render aide??? Most marinas are closed this time of year, almost all of them never answer calls at night. When we fished the great lakes, there was a kit we caried with a flare gun, and many boats had marine radios.Plus the coast guard was always on alert for distress calls. I guess that most countys near the lakes have rescue squads, but they are mostly used when help is no longer going to aide you.
