Port Welshpool 30/9/2019, some squid and some big mistakes!

[Kimtown]

Decided to take an RDO today and take the ski to go get a few quick squid but i'm still undecided whether that was a good idea or not...

Launched the FishPro at Port Welshpool ramp at 9.30 and on the squid grounds by 9.35am after a cruisey 85km/h voyage. Had 10 squid up to 30cm hood in the boat by 10.30am and decided to call it a day as the wind was getting up and all I wanted was a quick feed.



Anyway, on the way back home i needed to stop in at mirboo north to fuel up the car to get back home. Slapped 30 bucks in only to eventually realize I've just put 95 in a diesel ute... a few choice words were made that I've been warned by snapperhead not to repeat on here... luckily I was (somewhat) clever enough to realize BEFORE I turned the engine over and wrecked it completely.. unfortunately my ute doesn't have a sump on the fuel tank, so we had to push it to a nearby mechanics where it's currently having the tank removed and drain while I'm sitting in the mirboo north brewery playing pool

Depending on the damage aka bill, will depend on whether the squid were worth it or not

Moral of the story? Don't go fishing after a big grand final weekend. You WILL do something dumb


One thing positive though. The squid cleaner I bought? Absolutely perfectly cleaned squid in 10 mins

Still sounded better than a day at work

10 squid in an hour is great..
Shame about the ute, hopefully it's fixed with minimal cost..

[re-tyred]

Yep better than work and if it makes you feel better. I did the same to a work ute a few years back

I did a similar thing to my car awhile ago now but luckily for me had only put in a tiny bit so was told it should be ok and it was.
Nice bag of squid. 85 km/hr...very nice was that flat out?
Cheers

$127 and 2 hours wait in the pub (with a $50 win on the TAB)


Could be a lot worse

Yeah flat throttle, into the wind with 2 on board... I've had it to 95 (again with 2 riders)

Squid must have been going off with 10 in a hour, Shame about the ute tho glad ive not made that type of mistake yet and i bet i will someday.

Always one of them things I use to laugh to myself at others doing and thought no way that could happen to myself, but here we are sweet, sweet karma

Unfortunately not even close to the dumbest thing I've done in my life and probably won't be the last either haha

Dont feel to bad we all do silly stuff, some of it has been showen here on the forums with people dumping fuel into their rod holders in the 'stuff that happens while fishing thread' i remeber you posted about it with 100 liters of fuel.

Should get one of those mis fueling things they sell where it locks the diffrent nozzles out.
