As I keep saying it was not a wasted day, we made one repair to the trailer, we caught keeper fish, not the original targeted species, or the body of water we wanted to fish, but we caught fish damn it!
My next adventure came this morning as I am heading down 95 turning onto the ramp for O'Donnell Street, I am heading down a ramp doing well over the speed limit as crotch rocket motor cycle blows by me on the shoulder. My cousin says you must not be going fast enough for him. My reply was I'm doing 60 the speed limit is 25 on the ramp, he is nuts and we might find him wrecked at the bottom of the ramp. The motor cycle disappears around the turn.
The next thing is see is the motor cycle riding the jersey wall with no driver. It took several minutes to register the driver was gone. Pulled over down the ramp. called 911 and then got out to try and find him for the police and ambulance crews. After looking from the road into the woods for him, and could not, I walked further around the ramp and found he got ejected off the bike to make a 20-30 foot drop on to O'Donnell Street below me right in front of a car.
Amazingly the cops were there and this guy was alive and reaching in his pocket for something. I hollared down to the cop where is motorcycle was and asked if they wanted to talk to us. The cops said no, so we stood the bike up and moved it to the side of the ramp
Yiou thought you had a bad day yesterday, this guys tsarted off much worse today. Interesting vacation so far.
At Marty, green bucktails and 4" shads also caught in addition to the green spoons.
