Rules of boating

[TTU Wader]

Check the plug before putting the boat in

Don't let your buddy fill up your boat, 20 gallons might end up in the hull

No bananas

Lift up your power pole anchor before taking off

When in doubt, trim it out and don't look back

I know I'm missing some...

[Robalo]

Send Lobster to Jerry and JT.

Check the 2 cycle oil or the 4 Stroke oil level.

Have throw cushion within reach or prolly get a ticket by GW.

Throw empty beer cans in JT's boat-never leave empties in your own boat.

[Reef Drifter]

never take your brother in law on the boat


eight year old neice's and big waves dont mix


always make the other people on the boat feel like you catch all the fish

[Swells]

No, you can't have my last THREE beers.

I told you not to eat them convenience store burritos before getting on my boat!

You told me to go this way, so YOU jump overboard and push us off the flats, tubby!

OK, I caught your last three fish by casting in front of ya - here, take my puffer fish.

[Jhua]

Listen to your surroundings. Especially if one of your buddy's on your boat is thundering towards you trying to follow a fish because he's not going to see you and run over/shove you.

Check for ice in the cooler and don't leave it in the truck.

Try to drive off while moored to a cleat on the dock.

[corndog]

Dont pick up the drift sock when you get ready to go make another drift over that reef holding fish.

Please feel free to bring all the gear you want I got plenty of room you know you are gonna use it all.

Sure bring all the styrofoam cups you want

your hat will be fine

Sunflower seeds are awesome on a boat

Who needs a tackle box anyway

why bother with same size wading boats when you know you can shove that foot in your nephews size 8 if you have to

reel maintenance is highly over rated

it just a little shower we ought to be able to ride it out.

Run real skinny in new places so when you get stuck your really stuck

Be sure you igloo is facing open end forward when your trailering your boat so those finely crafted plastic latches can show you how well they were engineered to stay latched. No worries that heavy duty platic strap will keep her in the boat at least.

Be sure to laugh when you see a igloo lid be smashed up in the middle of the freeway. Theres no chance in hell it is your buddies lid that your meeting to fish in his boat with.

Famous last words"A six pack ought to be enough Im not gonna drink that much anyway"

[Oleander Kayaker]

I don't need no frickin' (paddle, tackle box, perscription eyeglass, costa sunglass, camera, dry bag) leash.

(paddle leash applies to kayakers who wade home)

[buoy37]

Feel free to bring that smelly dead shrimp no one wanted to eat at work

Bring every piece of tackle you own

Sure, use my rear deck as a cutting board

and X2 on everything corndog posted

[reeltime]

Allways drap your floor mats over your motor or steering cable lines they will ride better.

Don't wait till you get home to attach the saftey chain.

Don't leave your bait in the livewell for next weekend.

Don't be late at the boat ramp!

Don't trust the depth finder when it say's three foot and slip off into 5 or 6ft of water winter!

Always bring a bannana for the Capt!not!

Don't go Ben Franklin in the boat during a lightning storm.

Don't be surprised if a dog jumps of the bow of the boat(moving) and ends up coming out the other end a little wet.

[Wild Bill]

Don't let the boy get one more "ice cold" soda from the boat cooler on the way home... disconnecting the bungie cord holding ur high dollar custom rods in the boat!

Don't put the live bait rod down for a second to help someone with a tangle, just cuz a rod holder is not convenient!

Don't buy 4 quarts of shrimp thinking more is better in that live well that only works to keep 2 quarts alive!

Don't let ur buddies buy gas or bait ONCE during the trip, cuz they will have bought 24k gold plated shrimp when it's time to settle up!

And, never, ever ever get the missus to help back the boat into a tight spot... the results are never good, even IF you don't manage to destroy somethin!

[WestEndAngler]

Don't follow Coe...

[TTU Wader]

Haha these are some good ones

[Dawg]

leave the net at home, nobody knows how to use it anyway

go ahead & set your wade gear on the floor of the boat, it wont fly out doing 60

[C4E]

Go ahead lift that 25" red in the boat with your GLoomis it can take it.

Leave your halfway finished Dr Pepper in the cup holder on top of the console cause we are about to spear some chop

Trailer the boat a few hundred miles without removing all of the snap cushions

Reel your hook halfway up the length of the rod then put the rod butt on the floor and pull down on the hook some more with your wet hands to put a new hopper on

Everything the captain requests is negotiable and can wait a second or two because what you are doing at the time is likely waaaay more important like updating your facebook status

Sure when you get done with that box of hooks and split shots just leave it open right there on the leaning post. No one will sit on it and catapult its contents about the boat.

Tie the anchor rope to the side cleat with as many X-ups as you can instead of how the captain suggests. Theres no chance that we would ever NOT want to be attached to the anchor line anymore.

Dont worry ive already suggested that you dont do it that way a few times now. Just keep on doing it that way so ill have something to look forward to before we have to call it day and head to the ER

[SUPER SPOOK]

think i've done just about all of those.lol
