1445.0. "I hate it when....." by DELNI::OTA (serenity happens) Mon Jun 25 1990 18:43

    I couldn't find a similar topic however, if there is feel free to move
    this one.
    
    I would like to use this base note to write the I hate it when lines.
    
    So I'll start
    
    I hate it when I go night fishing and hook a mess of 200 yards of 20lb
    line that some idiot snagged and left in the water.  Ever try to clear
    that kind of mess in the dark?

1445.2SALEM::ALLOREAll I want is ONE shot!Tue Jun 26 1990 07:143
           ......when you think you have a big bass on your line and
    it ends up being a big pickerel that breaks your line and swims
    away with my favorite lure!
1445.3PIGSPACKER::BACZKOPronounced BASS-Co.Tue Jun 26 1990 09:213
    IHIW...  You walk to your favorite fishing hole and find a bunch of
    garbage like beer cans, styrofoam worm containers, and other junk left
    by some inconsiderate FOOL.......
1445.4XCUSME::WATERSThe Legend of the LakesTue Jun 26 1990 09:405
    I hate it when I catch a 9 pound largemouth, fight him all the way 
    to the LEGENDMOBILE, throw him in the live well....and the next cast,
    I catch another one.

1445.5sure!!!!SCARGO::VACHONTue Jun 26 1990 10:286
     I hate it when people talk up a storm on how they can catch big bass
    but when it comes to actually doing it in a tourny they are lucky if
    they can catch a perch!!

1445.6Oh Well......HYEND::J_BORZUMATOTue Jun 26 1990 10:3910
    IHIW
    
    Your out there on the best day of the season, trolling 2 lines,
    and you look over the side, and find out your a little to
    close to the rocks, and the only thing you can do is back
    down over your lines, that wind up in your prop...
    
    all of a sudden it goes from Oh Sh*t to Oh Fu*k

    I hate it when I have to be here at work typing this when I would
    rather be out catching the BIG ONES.
1445.8DELNI::OTAserenity happensTue Jun 26 1990 12:183
    I hate it when you see that lunker by a log, you go to cast beyond get
    a wicked birdsnest in the baitcaster and watch your lure drop with the
    loudest splash in front of him and he simply swims away
1445.9ELWOOD::LASKYBTue Jun 26 1990 13:434
    When the wheather man say "Great day tommorrow, clear and sunny".  Call
    in s**k to work get on the water and the wind is 90 MPH!!

1445.10Get the net "I think"WJOUSM::BOURGAULTTue Jun 26 1990 14:075
    I hate it when I feel a bite on my line and set the hook and have my
    rod bend in half with the pressure, just to find out, I hooked a large
    branch underwater that springs back and makes me think I have a hawg.
    
    
1445.11TURTLE SOUPKNGBUD::B_SIARTYouteachbestwhatyoumostneedtolearn.Tue Jun 26 1990 15:0210
    
    
    IHIW
    
    	You get this terrific bite, fight with it for 10 minutes, and pull
    up A FIVE POUND SNAPPING TURTLE. (Unless of course you enjoy eating 
    turtle soup.)

1445.12A Cast and A Half Away!DASXPS::BARTONJack BartonWed Jun 27 1990 00:054

    like crazy a cast and a half away

1445.13I'll be ready in a" couple of minutes"MFGMEM::MROWKAWed Jun 27 1990 10:0613

	How about when you plan an outing with a fishing partner for 
a set time and when you stop by to pick them up they nedd at least a hour to 
get ready. Thgis is espically painful when you got up at 4 am arrive at thier
house at 5 and don't get to leave thier house till 6:30.

	Then another good one is loading up all the gear and the canoe and 
driving to a remote location, unload get readt to go and realize you forgot 
the paddles.

    Watching a blue swim off with the only lure in your box that entices
    strikes...

1445.15or how aboutDELNI::OTAserenity happensWed Jun 27 1990 16:543

               If you're that drunk, then let's hope you can't
    get back in your boat to drive it and possibly kill somebody!

1445.18Plug what Plug?WJOUSM::BOURGAULTThu Jun 28 1990 09:582
    I hate it when you launch your boat, and go to put your wallet in your
    boats glove compartment and see the boat plug sitting there. 
1445.19JUPITR::NEALThu Jun 28 1990 10:183
    I hate it when some d*** head thinks there the only one that uses the 
    ramp and takes 15 min to load or unload their boat.

1445.20"And why are You trying so hard?"STKAI1::LANDHThu Jun 28 1990 10:4510
    When You drag Your girlfried out on a fishingtour even if she is
    not interested, You get her all the equipment tells her wath to
    do. She still just want to sit and catch some sun and relax,
    commenting yor fishing all the time. When she finaly desides to
    try, SHE gets THE fish of the year.

    	You've got a gigantic brookie on the end of your line while you're
    in your rubber raft, and the wind is blowing like mad....blowing you
    straight towards shore and that big pile of nice sharp sticks and
    rocks!!

1445.22try a doubleDELNI::OTAserenity happensThu Jun 28 1990 11:397
    when you and your partners start catching a nice school of Bass some
    other fat fool in a big motorboat sees this activity blasts his big
    boat up between the two of you, casts for five minutes, catches nothing
    and blasts out of the hole at ninety miles an hour, swamping your boat
    and cutting your lines.
    
    I hate it when you don't have shotgun in the boat to kill fat fools.

1445.26To check or not to check...WEDOIT::ORLOWSKIFri Jun 29 1990 12:569
    I hate it when your trolling and coming up on your favorite spot,
    and can't decide whether to check your lure for grass or wait until
    you pass the spot.
    
    If you check it,,,,,it's weed-free and you missed your best spot.
    
    If you don't check it until you pass,,,it has 1 long clump of weeds.

    hole,,,,and 3 boats are just pulling out.

1445.28Tangle Lovin' BluesWEDOIT::ORLOWSKIFri Jun 29 1990 13:067
    I hate it when your Father-In-Law has to head to the shore every
    few casts to retrieve his lure from the shrubs.
    
    Note: This mostly occurs on days when the Bass are hitting close
    to shore.
    
                                           -Steve
1445.29Don't rock the boat baby..WEDOIT::ORLOWSKIFri Jun 29 1990 13:106
    I hate it when there is only 1 boat besides yours in the area.
    
    
    Note: This boat is a 150 Merc. with a water-skier in back.

1445.30SEMIU5::MATTSONFri Jun 29 1990 13:3212
	I'm fishing a spinnerbait or changing the blades, and my partner tells 
me to take those dam things and throw them all overboard, they don't catch
nothing but a cold,use RUBBER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. And he's 
right.  But they look so good in my tackle box.
	The biggest thing I hate is when the Bass where I fish don't read the 
same books and publications I read on Bass Fishing, so obviously they can't 
appreciate my abilities, BOY DO I HATE WHEN THAT HAPPENS !

    I HATE IT when I've spent 15 Minutes paddling across a pond to a likely
    looking cove, to have some dubber in a motor boat RACE over there to
    fish it before me.
    
    I HATE IT when I'm canoe fishing and catching fish to look around and see 
    half a dozen other boats headed my way.
    
    I HATE IT when I'm ice fishing and taking fish on ONE trap and some dubber 
    comes over and power augers four holes RIGHT next to my "hitting" trap!
    
    I HATE IT when I dont catch fish on a dry fly and my partner is hauling 
    pounder trout one after the other on a wet line.

    You've just finished packing up when you see something break the
    surface of the water. You turn to leave, but then hear the water splash
    again. You really should go home, but you set up again and cast out
    again.
    
    You then hear the roar of laughter from your fishing buddies and then
    realize that they've been throwing rocks all along...

    single thing you pitch out at them.
    
    IHIW you then find out throwing your 787 Plano tackle box after them
    was a bad idea cause it sinks.

    	I hate it when the trips before and after you take your neighbor
    you catch 8 - 10 large enough to brag about and when your neighbor
    comes out to the same spot with you, the only thing you catch is
    a cold.

    IHIW when all winter and spring long you look at this nice looking pond and
    keep thinking this will make a good fishing hole.  Then summer comes
    you travel a half hour to get there and find it's now 100% lily pads
    with no holes to even fish through.

    IHIW you read 101 notes on the DEC Bassmasters Classic and still don't
    have the final date or place identified

    I hate it when the wife is down cellar and opens my overflowing Plano
    787 tackle box, sees the boxes and stacks of lures and rubber stuff on
    my bench that won't fit in the box and says,,,,,,,Say Brian how much
    does all this stuff cost?????

    IHIW, I start laying subtle hints by leaving the BPO catolog out with
    filled in orderblanks for new tackle for Christmas and my wife simply 
    tapes them to the overflowing tackle box and pencils in "fat chance"

    IHIW  I finally hide all that excess tackle that won't fit in the box,
    vest or bench and then come home to find the new BPO filled with new
    tackle and nifty stuff that begs to be bought....;^)

    IHIW  Your dog gear clutch strips when you have just gotten through the
    mouth of the MERRIMACK on the FOURTH of JULY and you have to come back
    through in REVERSE on an OUTGOING tide with every B*TTHEAD on the river
    trying to SWAMP you.

    	I hate it when I sit down Saturday night to look through the papers
    and sales flyers for the week (I've been working lots of overtime) and
    find that The Fair's big fishing sale ended that day. 8-( 
    	It looks like I could have saved some serious coin if I had known
    about it sooner.
