WHAT TO BRING
Fishing
Rods
Reels
Tackle Box
Net (1 per boat)
Depth Finder (1 per boat)
Minnow Bucket (1 per boat)
Worm Container (optional, Dinty Moore Beef Stew Cans work nice)
Stringer (Sometimes nice to have two per boat)
Needle Nosed Pliers, Clippers, Knife (Tether for your pliers, you know who you are)
Clothes
Couple pair of pants
Few pair of shorts
Underwear (one of the most frequently forgotten Items)
Socks (another frequently forgotten item)
A couple of towels
Two pair of shoes
Flip Flops or slippers for the Cabin
Fitted sheet for mattress (optional, and by optional, I mean Trent is the only person who does this)
Hat (At least one that has the ability to cover your ears)
Rain Suit (This is not optional and make it the last thing you put in your duffle bag)
Miscellaneous
Sunblock (In 2009 we were 10 feet from the sun for about 4 days)
Bug Spray (It better have deet or you are wasting your money)
Fillet Knife
Sunglasses (May want to consider an extra pair as well)
Clear safety glasses (great for the driver of the boat in the evenings, keeps the bugs out of your eyes)
Stick a golf or small towel in your tackle box.
Krazy glue – Great for patching up small cuts
Flashlight and batteries – The walk from one cabin to the other gets a lot longer in the dark.
Camera – Disposable or Digital – If digital, don’t forget the batteries
Any tobacco products you might use – Sweet lord, you don’t want to buy it up there.
Tips:
Line your duffel bag with a big trash bag before you put your clothes in it (It will rain on the way up or down the river) and put an extra one in there for on the way back if need be.
Wash your hands before taking your contacts out. (I found this out the hard way, not only does in burn like heck but bug spray is impossible to get off your contacts)
Bring some type of waterproof bag to keep your raingear in the boat (Also handy when you start peeling off layers)
I can give $20.00, but I'd kind of like to know who's holding the money.
ReplyDeleteI say we let Larry hold it just to see if he has changed over the last couple of years. I am sure he could invest it for us.
ReplyDeleteI am going to wait until the weekend to see how many of these computers I fix and see if I can't get some donations. I got Aaron straightened away last night I think, Mom and Uncle Bob on Saturday, I should be able to scratch up 20 bucks from all that work.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I will put in the 20. Make sure you have a receipt book handy, I am going to need one.
Just got word out of Woodsfield from brother Bernie that Bob said Larry figures he should be exempt from gas since he's driving and should get his $55 back so that he can invest it Totes Umbrella stock (any of you guys want in, Larry is your man for solid investments...You may remember who kept the sun out of whose eyes last year.)
