Got a spare gas can?

[Tator2k]

This was going to be my post Sat. night.

See if any had a spare can and could deliver us a couple gallons to the river.

Oh our location?

It's 10 pm, Sat night and we're sitting approx. under the Lake St. bridge.

You would think having 2 - 30 gal tanks you occasionally check the levels....

haha sounds like a bummer... how did you make it back to the launch?

[TUMBLEWEED]

Very slowly.... Sorry I couldn't help it!!!!

Well, my buddy called his teenage daughter to grab two gas cans from their garage and fill 'em up and bring them to beach just south of the bridge.

Well needless to say she didn't like the idea of driving alone to South Mpls. Then she forgot one of the cans, and didn't fill up the other.

When he met her at the top of the hill she wasn't very excited about being there. But then she had to drive to the SA on Lake St. To fill up the one can and bought another. This way we could get 7 gals into the boat and have enough to keep fishing all night. I guess he had some fun trying to carry two cans and a flashlight coming down the hill from street level in that area.

Surprised you guys made it out of there alive having to walk by all those $350,000 to $1,100,000 million dollar homes on West River Road near`Lake Street..

Never know what goes bump in the night, down on the river bottoms.

Actually had one guy partially attempt to jump into the boat as we were trolling by. I was in the rear and heard something in the brush, all of a sudden had a guy jump out and just miss the back of the motor and land in the water... That was before dark.

Haha, I have a whole years worth of weird P2 stories, from just a handful of trips over there this summer.

Sounds like that guys timing was a bit off. When they jump in my boat on pool 1 they normally nut the landing on the 1st try...

Then again I'm usually in the 1.2 MPH range which is slower than most troll on pool 1...LOL!

Wow, I think we need to here some of these stories!

Wow - that is crazy, well now you have an excuse to buy planer boards and get away from the shoreline where weirdos try to jump in.
