letting wife go in the livewell

My fishing partner and buddy has what he calls the groover.   It's a five gallon bucket that when you sat on,  it leaves grooves on the backside...

I was bank fishing about a month ago and well...I generally don't approve of leaving a bio-hazard behind...anyways I had to go, picked a well hidden spot, wrapped all the napkins that I used in napkins I didn't use (in a resealable empty plastics Stik-O bag), and hauled them out with me. The bag worked well. 

 

I knew when I left that day there may be trouble so I brought a bunch of extra napkins. Maybe TMI but hey it's fishing related!

 

When me and my Step-Bro Jeeped The Rubicon, we were told we had to pack out EVERYthing, even the "bio-material". I didn't take it that far at the local creek, but...okay that's enough about that.

I keep a plastic coffee container in the boat with a roll of TP in it. It does a great job keeping it dry because wet TP is almost worse than no TP. Way better than hoping you can dig enough napkins out of the glove box in your moment of need.

I’d have to find a marina for her.

Well, here goes. This happened back in March or April, I'm not exactly certain. I normally don't eat breakfast on my way to the lake if I plan to fish all day because I don't want to have to take a break and go to the restroom. Well on this particular morning I was starving so I stopped and got a breakfast burrito, you know where this is headed. I ate on the way to the lake and was fishing when it hit me. No big deal, I will just go to the bathroom. I finally get to the bank and head to the bathroom and I am in a pretty big hurry as I am feeling it start to boil a little bit. I get to the door and pull on it and it doesn't open. It has been closed due to Covid (remember the time of year). So now I am sort of in a bind. I walk/waddle back to the boat and head out around a point and start back toward a cove. By this time it is getting ready to happen whether I am in a position to release it or not. I just put the poles down and opened the live well lid, pulled my bibs and pants down and let er rip. This all happened so fast it was all I could think of to do. So after the next couple minutes of intense action I started to think about exactly what I was going to do next. I had some baby wipes in the storage box beside me so the bodily clean up was okay, it was the other clean up that had me concerned. I was semi relieved because it was mostly in liquid form but I knew there were some bits and pieces in there that may be tough to remove. I couldn't just reach down in there and pull the plug so I just added a little bit of water to the well and decided to deal with it later. Literally told myself "this crap can wait". So I finished the day and then the time came to get rid of my mess. Once again, I couldn't just pull the plug so I decided to try to just pump it out. Bad idea!!!!! It pumped most of the water/watery mess out but I assume that some of the stuff got through the screen and the pump quit pumping out. I could hear the pump running so I knew there had to be some blockage. I did a little bit of reading on Google and........Did you know that you can get some of the blockage out????? That's right, you just stick your mouth over the outlet hole and blow real hard to clear everything out. So, I clean that area off as best I can with baby wipes, Windex, hand sanitizer and whatever else I could find in the boat. I made a little "barrier" with one of the baby wipes that would fit between my lips and the boat to hopefully prevent any contamination from occurring. A couple good blows and I could hear the bubbles in the live well. After about 4 or 5 times of doing this and adding water to the live well a few times I had "most" of it out. I did take the pump apart and clean it up real good when I got home and cleaned the live well screen and everything real good as well. Overall, it wasn't the best experience in the world, but I can't say I wouldn't do it again given the situation I was in at the time.

That just ventured into the TMI category...?
