Dirtyeggroll Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 -Bird stealing an original Deps 250 off the back of the boat ~$200 -Casting off a custom painted Hinkle Shad later in the week ~$220 -Building a grate-like lure retriever to drag the bottom and recover said Hinkle Shad (unsuccessfully) ~$30 -Breaking a rod casting a 3/8 oz wobble head $80 -Finding a stud on a dirt road leading to a flat unrepairable tire ~$200 -Finally getting the skunk off after 5 completely unsuccessful outings... ...Well if the above is any indicator, it didn't come without paying a price... This last couple of weeks has not gone in my favor. I should have winterized the boat two weeks ago and started cleaning reels. 5 4 Quote

Ive gotten good at taking fish pics haha. Caught him on a Yamamoto Kut Tail worm in Plum color on a shakey head. My favorite clear water finesse bait. 1 Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted November 5, 2019 Global Moderator Posted November 5, 2019 Glad you beat the skunk, I don’t buy lures over $10 for such reasons. Well maybe not the bird reason but you never know haha Quote
TheRodFather Posted November 5, 2019 Posted November 5, 2019 I feel your pain. I blew my outboard late summer, rebuilt it, got skunked for weeks. Then caught my PB 7.4lb on the 4th week. I think I'm going to hand it up for the year before I burn out. Better to end on a positive note Quote

Super User NorcalBassin Posted November 7, 2019 Super User Posted November 7, 2019 That's a terrible streak! I can't find a decent price on a painted Hinkle anywhere... might be even worse than $220 Quote

FishinBuck07 Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 All I have to say is when I see some of you guys talk about what you spend on a single swimbait, let's just say a certain body area puckers, but we won't get into detail!!!! ? 1 1 Quote
