10/15 Hot Oil Report

[drag4striper]

My girlfriend and I took a striper fishing trip Sat. I can't remember the little details except we caught a couple fish on down lines with dollar bill gizzards. Several pull downs on planer board...swings and misses. Fish were 27 and 28".

Stepped on one of my planer boards and snapped the arm clean off. : ( Before the trip started I noticed my left tail light was busted... I guess someone hit it in the parking lot on my Wed. trip. : ( Then on the trip home I was at the stoplight and a nice fellow rolled his window down to let my know I had a wheel wobble and smoke rolling. Ah crap!!! : ( So I pulled over at the shell station in Burnt Chimney to survey the damages. Oil bath hub shot and wheel covered in hot oil.

After finding a rollback we finally got home somewhere around 10:00. I have always heard things happen in three's, hope I am done for awhile.

Does anyone know if the guy that makes outcast p/boards sales replacement parts?

Glad you got the boat home safely and found it when you did.

Toby (Outcast) used to have/sell replacement arms. If he does not have them you might check with Tommy from Rock Creek here to see if he has arms that would work on the Outcast.

Man...that blows! When crap happens, I always think of this..."If it doesn't have a heart...it really doesn't matter."

BTW...thanks for the note! Oddly enough..it made me feel like someone was watching over me in a good way.

Hey drag, now that all that is out of the way, now you are ready to compete in the tourney. Definitely not trying to make fun of the problems. Ive had similar problems also. Last week i was taking out one of my rod holders so it would not be stolen. Yep, the lake wanted it more then me. $50 hit the water.

Yeah, I was telling my girlfriend that the hub was no big deal. Could have been much worse.
I said think about , if the wheel and tire had came off an caused a major accident and hurt someone. Plus damage to another vehicle and possibly the trailer or lower unit. We were lucky.
Prime , no tournament for me. I don't believe I can compete with this crowd.
When SML is hungry she eats whatever she wants. Rods and reels, rod holders, cast nets, eye glasses, water wolf camera's even cell phones.
