*Beware of weather forecasts. Even if it is clear and warm, it will surely change.
*If, after traveling ten miles down the lake, you suspect that you may have forgotten something, there is no doubt that you have. (Example: *Approaching dark clouds are a sure indication that the rain suits are back in the car.)
*The one special crank plug that you managed to find at K-Mart last night is the only one ever manufactured that can't be tuned to run correctly.
*Your worst backlashes always occur on a cold day in a driving rain. Slight overruns are reserved for sunny days.
*Nature's call always waits until you have donned a snowmobile suit over the top of six other layers of clothing and are one mile from the *nearest shoreline-which, incidentally, is a sheer bluff bank.
*Rain suits never leak until Winter.
*The best things in life are not free; they are darned expensive.
*Bass bite best on two specific occasions-the day before and the day after.
*All fishermen are created equal. It only APPEARS that some are more equal than others. -Any time you run out of gas on the way to the lake, *the nearest gas station WILL be closed.
*If your bassin' partner has a lure that the fish are eating up, rest assured that it is the only one in the boat.
*When you run out of gas on the lake, you are the last boat out there.
*New line always breaks.
*Lures never hang up in shallow cover, only on deep limbs.
*In a draw tournament on a strange lake, your partner will NEVER be a local pro.
*Five tackle boxes, a paper sack of new lures and a coat pocket full of new Durango Kid masked worms practically insures that you will NOT *have the one lure the bass are hitting that day.
*If you don't think it will make any difference, it will. (Examples: corroded battery terminals; frayed wiring; loose drain plug; inoperative bilge pump.)
*When the heavy rains crease and the 40 MPH winds finally subside, your outboard motor will not crank.
*Mud sticks best to clean shoes; but, comes off easily on the carpet of a bass boat.
*Dry lures catch few bass.
*Unless you are continually stepping on it, the net is NOT in the boat.
*The wind only blows on my part of the lake.
*Any bass lost, but not seen, surely weighed 14 pounds.
*If the tournament is important enough, you'll wind up at the wrong boat ramp.
*Drain plugs are specifically made to be forgotten.
*Trolling motor batteries are always charged, except when they're not.
*Bilge pumps only work in dry weather.
