~*~ Last Night Stupidity ~*~

[Andrushkin33]

Just had to share even though it will make me look so so so stupid.

Anyways not a sweet fresh water story but a salty one.

Got dragged to the party boat last night.

Due to my work schedule had time only to make it to Sheepshead bay party boats due to them sailing out a bit later than NJ ones.

Target was pretty much anything we can land but mostly going to stripers.

There are many reason I do not do boats and being stuck for 5 hours in one was definitely one of them.

Landed a dogfish and small black seabass. Had to fight through schools of them in order to get bait down and into something bigger.

Some beers later I forgot that I was in a boat and got into a swing of things and thought I got everything under control.

And then it happen. How it happen I still do not know but it did. While taking a nice swing to get my line as far from boat as possible I saw it. My rod .....going overboard ....because someone forgot to loosen the reel to let the line go. And I just stood there looking at it like I don't even know what.

Amazingly my friend manage to hook it before it sank but just as we were about to bring it unboard ....it got loose and was gone forever.

So if anyone catches a striper with a rod ..... Enjoy it.
