As many of you know i always blame some of my stupid stuff on being a dumb frenchman LOL Well Today i proved it. I finished grocery shopping and getting my stuff ready for the derby and decided what the heck I'm gonna go try out my 14' flatbottom at the local pond, My 7.5 outboard hasn't come back from the shop yet so i jerry rigged an electric motor my buddy gave me to try out. Got up to the pond put all my stuff in the boat Rowed out from shore about 20 feet put the motor down, went to hook up the connections and "WHOOPS" over i went (Thank god there weren't alot of people around) as it was pretty embarrassing LOL well to make a long story short managed not to lose anything (water was only 10' deep "thank god") even dove done and retrieved the battery, got to shore went to pull boat in and fell in the water again (Def. not my day UGHHHHHHHHHH) finally person came over gave me a hand to dump the water out of my boat and load it back in the truck, little to chilly to try fishing soke and wet LOL Well i though everyone would get a good chuckle out of this Hopefully my dumb luck changes for the Derby LOL Take Care God Bless and Tight Lines (a little wet but oh well LOL) Dave!!!!!!

Let's hope you got all your bad luck out of your system, from one Frenchman to another, be more carefull.

Hey John, Yeah it def. was my own stupidity that's for sure LOL At least the water wasn't as cold as Winni it was 68 degrees almost like summer up here LOL I think I got rid of all my bad luck now LOL I should be all set for the Derby. The best part was the few people that were there Looking at me like i was crazy, I couldn't stop laughing at myself LOL Take Care God Bless and Tight Lines Dave!!!!!!! P.S. Guess I'm gonna have to get me a pontoon boat pretty hard to flip those over LOL

Dave, trying to follow my example? (That's what I did a few days after ice out, but had my kicker in my lap and the water was COLD!!)

I'll be fishing with a friend from my East Bear Island cottage.

Good luck in the derby!
