Well its been slow and figured I would share my weekend experience if you could use a laugh. If we can't laugh at our selves then we are no fun.
Mid day start and it did not warm up. Launched at Marker 37 and waded Kates with only 4 rat reds to show. Headed to boat hole and set the Power Pole. The pole just seemed to not get that bite. So I went over and decided to step on that pole to sink it in just a bit. Gave it a nice push with my foot and I lost my footing. Don't think I ever had it and went in shoulders first.  Water found its way over the collar and into the waders. That about ended the trip and called it a day.
Now to see why the Power Pole isn't spiking down with some force like my old one.
Have a great day.
Jesse

Somebody upstairs was telling you to "Chill", and not just figuratively.
Sometimes, you just have to laugh at yourself.
I sometimes wonder why we do some of the silly things we do. Usually don't think they are silly until proven that it is.

Nice man - gotta love those mornings.
Had one a few weeks ago. Forgot the bait bucket and stringer at home. Turned around halfway there to get them. Get to the bait stand - no shrimp. Get to the first wade spot - already 4 cars there. Get to the 2nd spot, suit up, walk in. Get to about thigh deep - waders have HUGE leaks in both thighs, soaking me instantly to the core!
Man upstairs definitely telling me to 'chill' that day.

Been there, my Dad used to say, "A smart man WILL change his mind, a dumb one won't"...I for one can still be dumb at times... |

Great experience....maybe not. I have had the exact opposite happen. Ready to leave and the PP would not extract from the mud/muck. Went to the bow to jump up and down a bit while Gilligan hit "up" on the pole. Bow was slick. You know the rest.  Quite the three hour tour.

| It's amazing how something that seems to be such a good idea can turn out to be such a dumb one. Done so on too many occasions. |

If it makes you feel better I learned something. Never thought to do something as simple as stepping on the PP when it is having trouble biting. thanks and yes I get you must be careful
