Big gale coming, calling for 12 footers and snow on the Big Lake tomorrow!...but today was a balmy 45 degrees with a 10mph on shore wind, a guy can only live one day at a time...so a guy has to go out! Hit a bit of sheltered inland water at 10am with the AtPro. Started getting some older tabs, sinkers, a few wheats, figured a guy has to settle down and work it right and not worry about the leaky waders, or the paltry clad coming in...
My hunting buddy texted me at noon, he was hunting a different spot 20 miles away...He already had 5 rings, a ton of clad, a Merc, and a load of wheaties! So I had to give this area another shot to have something worthy..We dont really compete with each other, just try to inspire each other to greatness, which is good, a guy needs a kick every now and then.
. Finally hit this 4.6gr 14k at @ 1 oclock! This gave me a shot of adrenaline and all of a sudden, I was not so tired or uncomfortable!...[attachment 302096 oct3014-3.jpg][attachment 302097 oct3014-2.jpg]
Waders were leaking to be danged, but I continued to work slow and steady hoping to double up!...pulling old targets..[attachment 302098 oct3014-1.jpg].
Called it quits at 2:30 peeled off the waders and headed for the house, looking like this..stopped to buy myself a celebratory beer and the kid behind the counter took one look and said, "I think you've had enough for one day already"
[attachment 302099 oct3014-4.jpg]. I dont know if these waders have another hunt in them or not, but the hunt for GOLD sure has a way of pulling a guy into the water in all sorts of weather...

It's telling you to get some new waders. Is that a brass prop from an RC boat? I found one of those last year and a guy offered me $25 for it. Didn't know those things were so expensive.
This was before RC controls of course, a guy had to bend the rudder just right so the boat would make a circle...evidently the rudder was not bent just right!
