JPP Weekend Survival Kit
JPP is my favorite lake, but mostly I fish it during the week. Not unusual at all to be the only boat fishing my section of the lake, especially in the mornings. Unfortunately however, my fishing buddy has not yet retired, and has a hankering for crappie, so I am forced to fight the weekend crowds to help him keep his freezer full. With that in mind I have developed this weekend survival kit that hopefully my friends here will find useful.
1. A flag bearing the words - DANGER - BIOHAZARD - CHEMICAL - NUCLEAR WASTE - QUARANTINE ZONE - to fly whenever you boat a crappie, as otherwise 4 boats will move in and crowd you off your spot.
2. Exploding leaders. These are chemically adjusted to explode only under the pressure of a gar biting you off, or when wrapped around a prop (to blow the prop off of boats that cut your line while trolling deep cranks - which has happened to me 4 times already this year)
3. An RC controlled shark with giant back fin. Used to swim around party boats and jet skis anchored over your brush pile.
4. A paper bag with eye holes in it. To be worn over your head at the boat ramp, when your partner backs at a 45 degree angle down a multiple lane ramp- so none of the regulars recognize you. (after all, there are a bunch of bright blue Lowe fish and skis tricked out for trolling on the lake, right?)
