........is a hole in the water, designed to pour money into, never to be recovered.

With all of the recent boat purchases on this forum I thought I would post some of the rules. I know I won't remember all of them. So, you veteran boat owner/fisherpeople feel free to add.

There is no such thing as too much STUFF.

Upgrade becomes a common word in your vocabulary.

10 rod/reel combo's will catch more fish than 3.

You NEED 134 different colors of soft plastics.

"We have plenty of gas"

"Officer, that trout was 15" when I caught it."

"This GPS must be broken. I'm sure I know where I'm going."

"All ya have to do is........"

"Why are all of those boats on the wrong side of the channel markers?"

(read Sir Reel's signature)

is release

is relatively cheap to fill with gas, but will repel your buddies when it is time to wash it.

I had to give up something dear to my heart this past week, my family members said you have alot of money tied up in that....I told them that if I played golf twice a week for two years, what would I have to show for it, nothing....

The few times I have played golf the only thing I brought home was some score cards and some golf tee's....

The few times I have gone fishing, I have brought home some fish and once a brand new reel and rod offered up by the fish god's

Use this rationale to justify the boat toys, fishing toys, etc and life will be good...

Good point chalk, I like that. I really like taking other people fishing, but, I absolutely get an adrenaline rush when I go solo. I feel like a king when I leave the no wake zone, hear the motor rev up and get on plane at about 35 MPH. I like reaching a spot and driting for a few hours and solving all the worlds problems. Fishing is the most therapuetic treatment I know, and the boat is the copay.
