So.....I've been wanting to do an overnighter on the Savannah for quite a while. Over the weekend my trucks started shittin' oil everywhere...and went from bad to worse in a hurry. I decided to try to limp into Augusta where at least if Freightliner was gonna hold my truck hostage for a week or so I could go home.....and uhhh yeah....go fishin'. So now with the truck in the shop,and the idea of an overnighter on my mind, I also thought this might be the perfect oppurtunity to try to quit smoking...a couple days on the river...no stress...no place to buy smokes. Sounded good on paper.





I got an early start ....

Things seemed to be starting out really well. I decided that if I had two days to fish there was no reason to rush....though I was mostly anticipating some big smallies down by the bridge. So I slowly worked my way down, catching mostly redeyes along the way.....

And then the douchebaggery started and my trip report ends....My employer calls me and says they want me to go with another driver to NY to recover a truck.....WTF??  And not sure how this is gonna play out...and knowing that my point of no return for getting picked up at the take-out is drawing near....I sent my wife a message to plan on picking me up when she gets out of work....and I paddled my skinny ass on down to the boat ramp...broken down, pissed off,  pissed on....so goes my "overnighter" .  Good news....I finally grew a set...and told them there was'nt a chance in hell of me wanting to do this.....plus as I write this....I still have'nt had a cigarette....two days and counting......wish me luck!  and thanks for riding along...even if it did go south in the end.

Awesome report up until the end.  Sucks your overnighter got screwed up.  At least you got into some nice fish, that was a pig smallmouth!

Good luck kicking the cigs!
