Title: Very Short Trip Today
Post by: davidhoheisel on February 18, 2010, 12:05:17 AM
I drove over to meet Firefish at Indian today. We met at Le Van's bait store. Purchase my bait and propoane and off we went.
We went to BlackHawk which i have never fished before. Dan entered the lake off of the Docs on the left. I was walking towards the docks not knowing i was walking on the sea wall because of the snow drift. Took one step and fell off the wall. Left leg went through up to my waist. No change of cloths so i went back to the truck and drove home. Of course Dan hammered them.

What a waste.
Thanks for sharing though, because now nobody has an excuse for not having a dry change of clothes with them all the time.
You'll get them next time.

That's no fun, I've had a day or 2 end that way. Once forgot my dry clothes, second time remembered the clothes, but had no dry boots. Gotta love it when that happens. Glad you didn't get hurt.

The day we were all together up at LI there was a giant hole next to where Chris was fishing, could imagine that would have been a bad one to step in if it was snow covered.
