BOAT BUYERS RULE?

[rough_shag]

G'day all,just have to ask-is there a rule which states that after finally taking the plunge and blowing mega bucks on a lump of floating fibreglass the weather shall not be suitable for boating/fishing for an undefined period of time in order that the aforementioned purchaser/fisherperson wannabe is subjected to stressand frustration for an indeterminate period of time?.
If such a rule does exist why wasn't I warned about it?! or is it another fishermans secret I wasn't aware of?.Roll on winter!-apparently.Cheers!.Jace. ps-it's all one big conspiracy-don't ever doubt it!

Mate, it's not a rule it's a law.

A law named after Murphy :-/

B-stard, someone should have shot him :D

I have discovered that monday to friday are the best fishing days, with the exception of when I'm on holidays and all days are crappy. Go figure! Just lucky I am a stuborn individual who will bash and splash out if thats what it takes.

Hey Shag..

When I "sold the shop" and retired 2 years ago,
my first thoughts were "beauty, I can fish when I want".

Ha!

After #spending the last 10 years workin 6 days a week,
no sickies or holidays to speak of, planning a trip out,
when the weather/tide/moon/fishing Gods were all nodding in
apoproval that this day should fall on a Sunday,
(happens twice a year), I thought I had it made..

I hate that bloke "Murphy"...

These days, when the Gods all agree, I've got other crap I gotta do..

(volunteer stuff, school commitments, home reno's, etc)

Oh well, maybe next week.... ;)

I spend all the good weekends working my coight off and the all too infrequent days off that I get it flogs down rain(but not enough to break the drought ) or it is blowing a gale ::) :(
Oh well there's always next weekend,"Are we doing anything next weekend darling?Oh are we?Bugger"
cheers jon

AAAAAARH!! so it's not just me after all-As much as I respect this MURPHY fella I personally subscribe to the O'TOOLE philosophy which states categorically that "MURPHY WAS AN OPTIMIST"!!!!!!!!!!!!.Jace.

This has been absolutely 100% true for ALL THREE boats that I have purchased. My second boat was the worst.. It rained for 6 weeks starting the DAY I bought it and the rivers/bay were unfishable for over two months.
