Going Fishing?

If we are going, lets go.

Hey Newt, i thought you had one of those collapsable boats, have you outgrown it.

Cliff,

 

Newt has a boat just for his dogs.

LOL - not my boat. A man leaves it there through most of the Spring & Summer. The black bit on the stern is an oarlock for the single oar he uses for propulsion in the creek and he never goes downstream toward the river (to the left and maybe 200 yards).

Andy,

 

Fishing banks are still rather "haloed grounds". Maybe a testiment to our 2nd ammendment.

Edit:

Andy, also Newt might "describe" the area for you. It's not likely more than a 100 or so of the same people "regularly" use this access. A thief wouldn't get 5 miles before a local "noticed" that particular boat. Just as I had an enormously difficult time with 75 - 80 million people jammed on an island the size of England - it may be difficult for you to imagine the bounty of wide open spaces we are still blessed with. The risk of "posse justice" would simply be to great. Still, don't get me wrong, what you suggest does happen from time to time - just not often.

I remember when I stayed with Jan and Newt that he would leave all his tackle/motor and loads of stuff, outside his house in the open boat. OK not a built up area, but still surprised me that no one stole it all.
