This was before I hit the lake. I was In a hurry to get to the ramp , rushing around getting everything loaded into the car and meet my buddy at the ramp for a fine day of Spring fishing.
I pull out of the driveway and think it would be a nice gesture to stop get a couple of biscuits for me and my buddy so I stop, get the biscuits, and head to the ramp.
I get there and get out and see something funny on the back of the car.......It's my sweatshirt, two worm bags, and a gatorade. I felt sick as my big tackle box with all my spinnerbaits, crankbaits, topwaters, etc Is not there.
I backtracked but never found the tacklebox. I was sick . I went back home and picked up a few crankbaits and spinnerbiats I had in the tackle room and headed back to the ramp. I was determined to have a good day regardless of the morning and hopped on the boat . I bent over and right off my head my sunglasses went Into the water and sunk.
When all was said and done i estimated I lost close to $300.00 in a few short hours. It pays to be prepared, take your time and do things right and always be aware of what you're doing. :-)
