For Pete's sake!

I've been reading posts on here for a week now. I can't believe how much I've learned already! I now know how to setup for tuna, I know numerous option on how to run my gear, I know I need a few spare gas cans...this is all good stuff! Unfortunately, I've also learned that bananas and boats don't go well together....sigh :blush:

I've been fishing all my life and had NEVER heard that before. [img]graemlins/dork.gif[/img]

I want to get out on the big blue with you all sometime for some good fishing and fun, but I can't have you all running from me at first sight.

I'll be changing my login name in the near future. Maybe I'll try something along the line of "moron"...hmmm, that has a neat ring to it.

Pennies!! Pennies are BAD!! If any of your crew have pennies in their
pockets, make 'em offer the offending metal to the sea gods! If they refuse,
offer the offending crew member to the sea gods! :grin: :grin:

FA- your're just hoping if they line Depoe bay with pennies maybe you're big beer can (I guess it's can"s" since it's a cat hull)won't go away as fast. I don't think it will work, You'll just have a whole bunch of Aluminum coated pennies down there! :grin:

PS -HEY PETE - I think he's talking to you!

Imagine my workmate's surprise when I inspected his lunchbox before allowing him to put it in my boat before a halibut trip.

It was his first trip for halibut or even in my boat. His bemused look turned to horror when his lunch and the contraband banana contained in it went sailing through the air into the blackberry bushes across the road.

Bob caught a nice flattie that day and I shared my lunch with him.

On the other hand, I had my father-in-law meet me at Newport one day. We headed out, dropped the crab pots, went about 4 miles out, and started coho fishing. In about 5 minutes, he caught a keeper, then lost another one after I got him back out. Not long after he got another keeper in and was done. I had already fished the morning and was tagged out, so we cruised around a bit and went to the crab traps after a little over an hour of soaking. We got 7 nice males for 3 pots.

On the way back, he pulled out his lunch and there it was, a BANANA!....

Did you know that everyone who at pickles in the 1700's is dead?

Bananas are the whipping post for a bad day of fishing. I can almost guarantee on a charter boat if we have a bad day, I'll find a banana in someone's lunch. Do you need anymore varification to prove this? Doesn't matter that it's the most popular fruit for a lunch, if you have a bad day, there will be a banana aboard.

Please avoid using the PETE'S name in vain.

Mello-Yello · 04-14-2003, 10:42 AM

Pete, thanks for being Frank with me.....err, Thanks for being Pete, no, wait a minute...oh never mind.

Please rest assured, there was no ill-intent intended.

It was either for Pete's sake, or Heaven's sake, so I'm sure there is a subliminal compliment in there somewhere... [img]graemlins/applause.gif[/img]

Next time it will be "Great Googly Moogly"...hmmm, there are no Googly's or Moogly's here are there? d'OH!
