No Fishing Report Today
Message:
I was heading out last night with some friends to do a little bit of night fishing.
Less than a mile away in a parking lot (thank god) I hear BANG. Felt and sounded like the trailer came off the truck!!! That was the first thing I looked at when I got out of the truck. Wasnt that.
My trailers left side leaf spring snapped in half!!! The boat fell onto the fender, broke the fender and put a nasty scratch in my boat.....DAMN!!
So no fishing report
Everybody check your springs!!
We were able to jack up the frame and get a piece of wood in there and get her home ok. Pretty scarey. Can you imagine if that happened on the highway doing 75mph. Or maybe on the boat launch. Not pretty at all.
Could have been much worse, guess I'm lucky

Boy, you must have had [b:c32045fd93]a lot[/b:c32045fd93] of tackle on the boat!
Seriously, though, I'm glad no one was hurt and the damage was minimal. When towing my little utility trailer and boat, I always start off with my windows open to listen for noises from the trailer. The report from a leaf spring failing probably would have made me duck and sent me off the road.
