Sounds like all the reasons that while I love to fish, I have not nor do I see doing so, purchased a boat (along with some additional reasons).Seems like every year, I'm either eating snow or getting rained on taking it out. Or wondering why the windproof parka isn't so windproof coming across the ponds to get the battleship moored.....sucks getting old!!! (and the Mrs. doesn't want involvement, BUT wants the boat in the water......go figure)
Would have been happier with 40+ acres with a rifle range.....raining? shoot another day.....
Rifles dirty.....clean them tomorrow......
Snowing? have a big fire waiting inside, with a hot totty after shooting!!!!
