We took our buddy, Buck, and another friend, Garth, out in Buck's boat today...nobody got a bite...but it was a fun day anyway...because any day fishing is a good day, right?

We were pretty much done anyway, but when Dale decided to move to another spot, the jack plate (that moves the motor up and down) was stuck all the way up...Now, mind you, we could still maneuver with the motor all the way up...we just didn't have a lot of power, but we were going slow anyway.

When we're fishing, I normally pick one lure and stick with that lure...but today, I think I swapped out lures a dozen times and still couldn't get a bite!! But it wasn't just me...nobody on the boat was doing any good, so I didn't feel bad...

We were going to head over to the Sailboat channel, but the motor started running rough, so we decided to go home and take the boat in to the shop, rather than risk damaging it.

When we got the boat loaded and were back on dry land, we took all of the gear out of the boat and put it in the back of Buck's truck...he has this really cool sliding tray...but when I pushed it in so I could close the tailgate, I heard a "snap!"...uh-oh...I pulled the tray back out and saw that I had snapped Dale's reel off of the rod!!

At least it was one of our reels and not someone else's...I'd have felt REALLY bad!! And luckily, it was a really cheap reel that we had gotten about 8 years ago, so it's definitely earned its keep!

So after we got home, we had to head back to our 2nd home-away-from-home...Tackle Town!!

Dale picked out another reel so we can go out again tomorrow...it's pretty nice...and shiny...and new...I might have to break my reel tomorrow so I can get a new one, too! Lol!

I did buy a few more lures, and some new hooks...Hey, I had to get something, didn't I?
