BigDog Speaks

Boats and budgets are two words that should NEVER be used together. My most recent wild hair was named 'boat' and I pinched a paltry sum for purchase of same. Not gonna happen. Obviously, I'm not looking for a yacht, just a simple, no frills, nothing extra, boat, trailer, and motor. My paltry sum will only buy something that remotely meets my needs AFTER major rebuilding and a LOT more money. Talk about a severe reality check bouncing! Boats have become out of reach for my budget. No, that doesn't mean I can't find something that fits my budget. It just means I wouldn't BUY anything that has fit my budget. I have boards in my shop that will float better than some of the things I've seen, and that is with me standing on them! The conclusion I am being forced to draw is all my fishing will have to continue to be done from the shore. Since that is the way I have been fishing for years, I don't guess it will be much of a change. I still my lust after a bass boat but I will do so with both feet firmly planted on the shore.
