Insult to injury.
 

Went to Pickwick early this morning and struck out for what I was fishing for. I fished in the lake...below dam....tail race.....by the lock....off the point....on the flat....nothing. So went back to generator side to catch some drum. I noticed some top water action a little ways down the side walk and walked down to check it out. Whatever it was had gone and I headed back up to where I had left my tackle bag. It was a Cabelas backpack tackle bag that my two great nephews had given me about 3 or 4 years ago. It had held up well but I was going to replace it after this season. Well a blue Herron had pooped right on top of that bag....what a mess and what a stench. I walked up to my car and got a plastic bag and took all my tackle out of it and threw that bag in the trash. I can still smell it. The blue Herron is big anyway but Pickwick has some really big ones and man did he do me in. No fish and lost a tackle bag....such is life.

haha, I am laughing at you, hmm, I mean I am laughing with you. :D That sucks but is still funny.

Just your luck. I have been thinking about replacing mine. What you looking at?

Like you said, alpha, insult to injury. That heron was probably more a Bass Pro fan than a Cabela's lover.

Looking at this one. If Bass Pro has it in stock will get it as I need one right now.

I tell you Merv such a stench...no way was that bag coming home with me....LOL.

Man, I was thinking you were gonna say the bag was gone. At least you could throw the bag away.

Funny story Alphahawk! Even if the fishing wasn't great at least you got a good story to tell. I have never heard of a blue heron ruining a tackle box before. My dad always says "as long as it makes a good story, it was not a complete loss!"

Lol!!! I really am sorry, but that is hilarious!

I used to have to clean heron poop off the rental pontoons at a marina I worked at. Yep, the smell is HORRIBLE!!

That's not a tackle bag that is a parachute LOL................WOODY

That is one hilarious story. Be thankful that you did not have it on your back when the attack happened.

I hate to laugh but that is funny

Those things create a mess.....new bag is on order and will be here Monday. Will fish again starting Tuesday. Going to try for some Gills at VFW today.

a great thought and so true. Some of my best stories originate from some kind of personal grief. One has to maintain a sense of humor about one's own mishaps.

Oh man, funny story, Alpha (although you probably weren't laughing at the time) LOL
