ever have a bad fishing/hunting trip ?

[THEDOGG]

Ever have one of those trips nothing seemed to go according to plan ? Well here is mine,Our Spearing trip over new years it all started with having to work on the snowmobile trailer lights, then when getting the snowmobile out of storage found the steering rusted tight from the bushing under the engine so had to pull engine while doing this I hurt my back, Then morning of trip my dad got stuck while hooking up to the trailer and had to shovel, on way up north lost l/r tail light on truck and tail lights on tailer, Got to lake and found atv tires almost flat due to -26 temps filled them with mini compressor, got out on lake and the good 'ol jiffy did not want to start finally got her goin and got our darkhouse's set up and the water clouded up. Next morning the ATV would not start had to jump start with truck got to house's and 2in of ice from over night, Sunday checked out of resort and truck would not start it took 3 hours of jump starting 2 fish house heater's 1 under oil pan and 1 under hood of truck and a can of starting fluid to get it started. To top it all off we only got 5 fish for 3 of us in 2days. and as an added bonus the big logo on the back of my new vexilar cold snap jacket peeled off.This will be a trip we will remember for awhile. =-= Please add your story I'd like to know we're not the only one's this stuff happened to.

I don't think I've ever had a "bad" fishing trip. There are two trips that I remember having their moments of badness though.

#1 Out on Winni with about 100mph winds (well, that's what they felt like to me!) and pouring. Not fun. Caught a couple fish. Don't want to do that again. End of story.

#2 1st time fishing for lakers up in Ely and my flasher didn't work. I couldn't see anything except for interference from everyone else! I just wonder how many fish actually came up to my jig and then swam away?! Grr! We sent my unit in, got it fixed and most of you know the rest of the story. I'm a laker lover and can't wait to get up to Burntside soon!

I've had some bad days out there, but you know, the older I get the harder it is to remember them. On the other hand, it's really easy to remember the good times. I think fishing memories ought to be that way. Makes the slow fishing days all that much nicer when you can remember the good times and forget the bad.

And hopefully tomorrow's laker opener on Burntside will be among the good times.

You've got yourself a pretty nice trout opener for yourself Steve! You might even get a little tan out of the deal! Have fun and think of your sad friends who aren't laker fishing.

Sometimes overcoming adversity adds to the overall experience.

All about expectations you know....a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work!

Worst trip? Too many...used to go to the Wolf River in WI for the white bass run in high school - camping in the rain and not catching any is truly a bad memory, but I never gave up...and many years later, we were rewarded with a nice, rewarding ttip to the Wolf.

I have many more bad memories at the casino than on fishing trips!
