BOX May I Please?....

Blow off some steam. The damn SUPERBOWL is NO reason to back out of a fishing trip. Been trying to get a mud trip going now for several weeks but have been blown out every weekend since the 1st of January.

Been staring at and listening to the weather idiots for a month and FINALLY they give us weekend to venture out a little(only an 18'cc,PICK OUR DAYS).

Anticipation sets in starting Thursday and after the blow moves through Friday, ALLRIGHT! LETS GO KILL SOMETHIN! So the plan is for Sunday.

Saturday morning, I slip on my foul weather gear for some warmth and jump on my buddies boat to go do some commercial crabbing to acquire some bait for some togs. Put ina full morning with the basturds nipping my fingers and manage to stash two dozen from the 11 bushels harvested as "payment" for my "labor". Don't get me wrong, I loved just being out there with a good friend,shooting the bull and enjoying the river.

I get home,tie some rigs up,make the equipment checks, and settle infor the afternoon. 5:35 my phone rings and I answer..."I'll meet you at the ramp at 7:30." DEAD SILENCE, then I hear...."I hate to do this to you BUT, I forgot it was SUPERBOWL SUNDAY and my girlfriend invited some people over for the game and wants me to stay home and help her get ready, so I can't go fishing."

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? Who gives a rats behind about watching a bunch of overpaid gorrillas knock heads? NOT I! And the game isn't on till after dark anyway! THERE ARE FISH TO KILL!"

So now I'm left with a couple of dozen crabs,rods and rigs at the ready and no ride.

THE SUPERBOWL SUCKS!

Thanks for letting me vent a little Marty.

I know how you feel I have had lots of people do that kind of stuff they dont get the call next time the bite is hot. E-mail them the picture of the next kill and ask them if they remember who was ahead in the third quarter it helps them with their priorites.

How can you Tog fish in the dark? Last I heard the game was in the evening. Playing house is no excuse for not going TOGGIN. You've been chumped.

I hear ya. Hell, the past few years I didn't even watch the game too much. I'd go fishing anyway in some shape or form. Then catch an assload of fish and rub it in while he's kissing up to the GF.

[Randy Stinchcomb]

...ahem, stay away from your fishin' buddy for a few weeks, I sea a him gettin' hit wth a beer can soon...............

[SeaBiscuit]

Sorry to hear that Mark. I knew first hand you were excited about the prospects for the weekend and can imagine the bad taste your buddy's last minute change of mind left in your mouth.
I hope you get your shot at those gags and togs soon.

PS Box wisdom at it's finest once again in the reply to this great injustice!

[FinRazr]

Man I'm with you we had two guys cancel on a rockfish trip yesterday morning.......................................Their excuse it's super bowl weekend .Can you imagine!!I said damn did they just schedule this thing friday night????Pathetic!Well it shortens my list of people to invite fishing from now on.

[GALAZIO]

I HAD a few "buddies" that pulled that crap... I gave them a pass the first time, the second time? They are as good as chum in my book.

One of my best days fishing was 10 or so years ago when the Packers were in the SuperBowl (can't remember the opponent), anyway, got up early, drove to the North GA mountians and proceeded to catch many fish, but a 12 Brown Trout with a capped jaw and all made the day all on a 3wt buggy whip.

Drove back to Atl, got cleaned up and to the bar in time to watch the Packers & Farve go for two at hit both ends of the bets that I middled on a hunch.

Winner, Winner, chicken dinner!
