Shit man that is a damn fine offer!
I will get up with dibbs and assess the damage and laugh about it with him for bit, then shoot you a text and let you know.

there aint much to assess
its a raft the make em to perform in such a manner
and im pretty sure im still over 5k in vrs hundreds
3 or 4 mur ladores or a middle fork or 2 and ill be close to what i could just have spent on renting a rig from an outfitter:wink:
i dont haz a functional phone
nor a credit card to put in a nrs shop form order for a u frame castin brace up front cause ive never been a fan of the single attachment point line catcher one
when i replace the drybox please dont attach a seat to it or put holes in it
it makes it hard to open when the rafts loaded and probably didnt help keep the latches closed on its swim thru
https://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y1...pszxvfb6to.jpg
and if ya can find the second tiedown strap id put it back on
cause 1 didnt keep er in
likewise with the hardware to attach the the bimini top to the frame
which survoived ,at least the metal frame parts, zip tied to the frame
other than that the 10" towers and 9.5 counterbalanced cateracts row er way better than the 6''ers and shitty carlies's with oar rights
id consider puttin a couple coats of marine varnish on them well used sticks if your skin reacts to fiberglass
the single bar with the welded seat attacments still usable
and ill pull the ghetto seat off the hog
or i rowed the rest of the trip on a cooler in the drybox space
with a paco pad ass cushion
I wont be there unless the Smith flows unexpectedly drop. I will be passing through your hood next Thursday, I will let you know when. We are on a pretty tight timeline, but it would be awesome to stop and say hi.
Fugi, let me know, the current plan is to leave the driftboat at my place Irwin (subject to change)
Dibs PM me your address. Andy has one of your dry bags and wants to donate some other stuff to replace what you lost.
I’ve watched the video. It’s interesting.
ifin its hugely interesting feel free to spewtube er

Fugitive: got your text, see you Saturday night.
Telee: hope you can spare a few minutes. You know the name of my business, easy to google, close to the highway. Thursday I work 7:30 till 2. If you will be after that I can just meet you at the fly shop on the highway. I think you have my cell number.
Dibs: that YouTube link no work.

You see first we discusses the safeties protocols. Then everything else will fall into place. Gortex is our friend!
I'm looking to get in Friday afternoon or eve. Prolly no floats but ability to scope the scene. Bring the boy and pullen the red ryder rodeo raft, that dibbs washed any and all antifishcatching mojo from the other day, for you and Harry to bounce of rocks and spin circles in. If you join for saturday we got a spot in Lee's rig for you. Sunday you and H in the raft and then you and I will have an open spot if there are any loose maggots local that want to skip church and whet a line .
Bobmc you'll be missed.

Have fun boys. Fugi I will shoot you a text confirmation and some instructional photos on where to find the yacht. I am submitting proof that it needs no SFB type scrubbing.
Mmmmmmmm butterball. We promise to pet them nicely and let them swim.
Except for Rain and Cuttbows. We are eating those invasive bastids!
At least thats what the proclamation is telling me to do. :eek::fmicon::party:

Arrived at fish camp rendezvous and found Djongo and Fugitive enforcing safety protocol around a nice campfire. Chef Fugi soon had steaks on the gridle, with baby potatoes and summer squash. Safety was again a hot topic after dinner around the campfire. Lola the pup was great company. Tomorrow we fish.

Elk sausage and eggs for breakfast. The elk was shot by a Montana maggot who was unable to attend.

Pic of our campsite. Fugitive grabbed us the best spot.
Attachment 294966
We ended up with 3 boats (2 drift boats and 1 raft with fishing frame) and 6 maggots. We decided to do 2 three person drift boats and leave the raft behind due to the high wind.
Boat launch. Schwerty has a really nice drift boat.

Winner of the most fish of the day award hands down went to mini-Fugitive. That kid is a fishing machine.

The OP of this thread, Underoos, was a no show. Somehow we managed to be #HUGE without him. We need more stickers ! Kokomas especially needs a sticker.

KQ asked for photos of men's legs. These pasty white sticks belong to The Fugitive, who was changing his waders. I had permission to take this slutty pic.

There was some drama on the boat ramp at the take out due to some dipshit who did not have his shit dialed. Dude needs to watch this instructional video on boat ramp etiquette.
(*note to schwerty, not talking about you, I'm talking about that old guy that was blocking me)
Drive home across Idaho.

Special thanks to Telee for the use of his drift boat. That raft would have been a rodeo in that wind.

Great times, happy to meet Fugitive and Harry and hang with Djongo. Thanks Schwerty for the ride and boat. Unfortunately the big one got away this trip.
Good to meet/see you guys! ‘‘Twas a fantastic day to be on the river even if we didn’t have fish jumping in the boats.
And Harry...you should be making fun of me! Holy shit I had a rough trailer day. Only a few thousand days driving those things around and I managed to launch a boulder and hit another guys trailer! You guys let me off way too nice.
Lookin forward to next time! I will contribute to safety protocols after my month off of being dangerous.
Harry send me an address and I’ll get some sticker for you to disseminate.

Harry made nice with the campground mistriss who send him over the river and through the woods for propane. Elk sausage deserves a nice pan sear and eggs n cheese. Lola lived her best life. My gromm nymphed white tuna all day. Had some eats on bwo dries but didnt seal the deal. Rocked a spin to win in dibb's honor but nobody pio'd thanks to our adherence to proper safety protocals. For not landing the big ones Team Jaxin Hole Prostaff sure had the rod bent everytime we floated by. Nice to meet you schwerty and kokomas next time we will bring the shitshow to your hood. DJongo you are welcome in my boat anytime.
I'd like to thank our spancers Telee, SFB, 2 betties, hugeflyfishermen and Whiteclaw. Without them none of this would have been possible

Yeah, I did not want to call you out, but you should probably watch Underoo's video too. Although his video is about boat ramp etiquette, your issue is technique. :firedevil:
The old guy I was talking about is someone who definitely needs etiquette training. I was driving The Fugitive's truck pulling Telee's trailer, so I did not to scratch any thing. And that fucker had the whole parking lot blocked. I thought Djongo was going to kick his ass.
Bonus: the trailer you hit was that fuckheads. Karma for him.

Excellent work boys! That looks like a shit load of fun. Might have to try to fit one of these into my schedule one of these days. Wouldn’t mind a break every now and then from chasing spiny rays for trout.
