Super User scaleface Posted January 28, 2015 Super User Posted January 28, 2015 When your whitewater guide says over and over to secure your life jacket as tight as possible , then you better pay attention. My guide , son and I had to rescue a man out of the worst part of the river, he was drowning and his life jacket had slipped up over his head. We dragged him in the raft and he laid in the bottom puking . PS I'll never go white water rafting again. Quote

Matthew2000 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Ive learned a big one that cost me a couple places in a tournament. Me an my partner were fishing this tournament on Lake Murray in Nov. and the day before when we pre fished it was beautiful weather the fish were super shallow and we had caught a lot of them and seen a couple of big fished holed up. The next day the temp dropped from 60 to 20 degrees and the wind was blowing 30mph it was also snowing. I told my partner that the fish would have gone deep and we need to slow down a little and no fishing shallow. But he was older and more experienced so he said we were doing what he wanted to do. We caught one keeper. At weigh in we asked the people who finished ahead of us what they did. They said they went deep with spinnerbaits and cranks and finesse fished. If I learned anything it is what works the day before may not work the next day no matter how much success you had with it. . I can vouch for that I was there. Quote

Catch 22 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 is that the same as listening to ur skydiving instructor? I`ve sky dived three times now and my instructor had my harness so tight ,it changed the pitch of my voice. I see why people jump,its a real rush. This thread is like reading my biography.
