Default What I have learned on fishing trips.
As many people here know I love to fish. I have taken two fishing trips during my spring break as a vacation, and these some things I have learned.

1. Most of my friends have no idea how to fish.
2. These friends want to come fish with me at 630 am and leave me no way to wake them up (separate cabins. )
3. They are able to knot up spinning reels. (Not sure how they do it)
4. Insist on changing lures even when I am catching fish on the lure they are using.
5. I like fishing enough to deal with all of the above.

Backlash a spinning reel? Um, how? Overfill the spool, twisted line?

Sounds like you are a good friend to have. Just keep your hands off your buddies' worms.

If you rub the bait fish on your hands and don't wash them your buddies will think you had a hot date Kyle.

I'm one of those people who can totally ball-up a spinning reel.

The last time I got up early and went fishing with a fishing-crazy friend it was in Hot Springs AR with two other guys, one of them (Pat) was like Joebuck, fished all the time. We got to the pond, put the john boat in the water, and I think I was just barely awake. The sun was almost poking above the horizon, there was dew everywhere, and I wanted coffee.

Pat handed me a Zebco because I told him I would likely screw up the open-face reels. I cast out there a few times, got a bite or two, and then on about my 10th cast something big hit. Or it was a snag maybe. Hell, I don't know. I kind of was reeling it in somewhat, and suddenly this big bass jumps out of the water about 5 feet from the boat. Pat is yelling at me to do something or other. Whatever I did wasn't good enough apparently because just as he was trying to scoop the fish in the boat with the net, he got off and swam away.

To this day Pat is pissed at me about that. It was a really big bass, probably 5 lbs or so he says. I think it gets a little bigger every year.

A few years later I did land a 140 lb. marlin in Cabo. That was fun.

Guilty. I did a good number on one of Joe's open faced reels when we were on Toledo Bend.

I got tired of waiting at the dock for over-sleeping friends. Now I tell them what time the boat is leaving and that I hope they are on it. Most miss just once...

Time for a different fishing buddy. Or, put a couple of sweatshirts in your boat for forgetful, but good friends.
