why do I forget to use this?

JB · 04-14-07, 07:33 PM

anyone else have this problem? in my rush to get to the lake and fish, I always get home afterwards and look through my stuff, and think why didn't I try this? for me its always that hawg sauce scent or something similiar...I carry it, the bite is off, so why cant I remember to try it?..anyone else have brainfarts like this on the water?

Constantly, but that's why I just keep buying more stuff. Always nice to have all this stuff I always forget to use rotfl.

I always end up taking bags of plastics out of the top of my tackle box in search of stuff or scissors or pliars, but would feel nekkid if I didnt go to the lake with all my stuff....jus in case!

You ain't alone, JB-happens to me every trip, too. That's why in my fishing log I have a section entitled "should have tried".

mymomisbecky · 04-15-07, 12:04 AM

After the first time I used hawg sauce, I always make sure its available to me. I usually have a jar on the deck of the boat for when I throw plastics, jigs etc. The stuff just works.
The first night I ever tried it, we were just finishing up after dark, and I dipped a jig n trailer in it, and cast. First cast, bam a 4 lber. Ive used it ever since.

I have a HUGE problem with rigging on soft plastics. I'll have my plastic, weight, and hook ready, and I tie my hook on with the best knot and then I realize I forgot to thread on the weight. Then I cut the line and retie the hook only to realize I forgot again! The reason I cut it was to put the sinker on! Where is my brain?!? I'm slowly getting better.

keithdog · 04-15-07, 12:21 AM

I'm always doing something like that JB. And trust me, the older we get the more it happens. Ughhhhh

Rebbasser · 04-15-07, 12:21 AM

Joolz, have you tied on a hook/bait/whatever, clipped the tag end off only to realize you clipped the main line instead and have to retie-again? If not, you will

P.S. Package get there yet?

flamez · 04-15-07, 01:17 AM

lol ive never clipped the main line but i have many times forgot to thread the bullet weight on

keithdog · 04-15-07, 10:13 AM

I hear ya flamez, I've done that several times. Really ticks me off. LOL One thing I seem to always forget is to take my polerized sunglasses with me. I'll be on the water and it will hit me. Dang!!! Not again. Once I got the boat to the lake and set it in the water, loaded all the gear and realized I had left the oars at home. This is a jonboat before I had the trolling motor.

hackattack · 04-16-07, 12:28 AM

once I had to retie from line damage and tied the bait to the piece of line I cut off.
DUH!

flamez · 04-16-07, 01:19 AM

ive left kayak paddles before one time even almost went all the way to oveido without them made it 1 block away from my house when i remembered

perkdog65 · 04-16-07, 08:41 AM

Glad to see that i am not the only one that makes these mistakes.

momentary pauses in intellect i call it jb.....

patchino22 · 04-17-07, 09:13 AM

Every time I get off the water I tell myself "I should have tried this lure". My problem is that I am so confident in my go-to baits that I dare not stray from them. I find that if the fish are not biting my go-to baits, I am either fishing them in the wrong spots or at the wrong depths.........or the fish just arent biting. I feel my time on the water is so valuable that I dont want to waste it trying some new bait that I am not used to fishing. What a dilemma.

Wishing2BFishing · 04-17-07, 06:37 PM

Patchino, yeah it is tough to experiment and try new things when time is limited. These days, my fishing expeditions are extremely limited due to my time-consuming job, wife and two kids. So when I get out, I want to just catch fish. Of course, when I get home, I am thinkin' . . . yeah, I shoulda' tried this, that, or the other thing.

brushhog · 04-17-07, 08:07 PM

Wishing2 - I echo that... and I've tied and retied and forgot my weight both times, usually by the third time I get it right... just in time to unsnarl my sons reel or get him off a snag!!
