Fix'n "bubba boat"

 
 Ok already!!!!! So you're get'n tired of hear'n bout that damn "bubba boat". Well, it may not be much interesting or excit'n to you, but old Billy Bob is bout to pee his pants. This is what I do. I make stuff. I modify blow up boats and put hunnert horsepower troll'n motors on them so I don't have to paddle the damn thing. When I'm not do'n that, I let my mind wonder off on matters others would never give a thought to. I got to entertain myself ya know.....and this is the way I do it.
Now, while I were sit'n outside on "da porch" sip'n a cup a while ago, I got to think'n. What could wrong that "bubba boat" won't go straight. I break out a slide rule, cac-a-lator. fires up the computer and hot damn, it need more air. So's I take my little blow up boat air compressor down there and blows up "bubba boat"....again. Made a few adjustments to the motor mount thingy an' took 'er out for a spin....in a gale force wind (bout 8mph). "That much better Billy Bob" Now go catch a fish.

Speak'n of life jackets, no I ain't wear'n one. But it's in the boat just in case. 

Last night just before it got dark, I grab up my tackle box, a fish pole and head out across the lake. There just gotta be a fish over there. Trolled for a while....in circles.....damn boat won't go straight, never got a bite. But low gear is just what I was look'n for in a good troll'n speed. That's all I wanted to do....see how troll'n speed was.

I notice in Barney's (OFM) blog last night that he didn't reveal his plans. So I ain't gonna either.

I swear, I spend a good 6 hours yesterday research'n what my next destination is gonna be. I fount a couple places what look pretty promising, but nothing definite yet. Anyone ever been to Joe Pool lake? How bout the Fayette County Reservoir? Can't wait to get down to the Texas coast and catch me up some them spotted sea trout, better knowed as "specks". But it's still to early with the heat and god awful humidity. Maybe first week September I'll head that way.

  1. When you put the trolling motor on "that bubba boat", does it need license?

  3. Yes Dizzy, that's why "bubba boat" has numbers.


    Ted, I don't understand your comment. It seems kind of political, which I tend to try to keep away from. Causes too many hard feelings, even amongst friends.

  4. That blow up boat don't have enough keel to keep it tracking straight. Attach some kind of keel board to the motor mount frame or off the side near the middle, it will track then.

    A friend has a Fold a Boat which folds up flat and he fishes the ocean with it, swears it's the best one to have.

  5. River, "bubba boat" has all the keel they put on it. Gonna have to put me a skag on it....on the other side from the hunnert horsepower troll'n motor.

    When I lived on my sailboat, a neighbor sailor had a fold up for a tender. I rode in it one time....was a very nice ride.

  8. If'n you keep going round in circles with the trolling motor on the starboard, why not put 'nother 1 on the port side and fire em both up. Then you can go 200 hunert mph, and catch them speedy fishes.???
