She suggested putting tubular webbing straps around it and hanging it over the side from the toe rail. Not sure what to think of this.

Haven't seen you out at the launch ramps here or at Deale or down at Solomons, herring...surely you are not fishing in the potomac near where you launch, just downstream of the sewage treatment plant... -- Conservatives - just pretend Obama's health care legislation is another unnecessary war and you'll feel better about it. |

When they did the renovation of Blue Plains(70s), they had the director on TV saying his discharge water was cleaner than the river, then he scooped up a glass and drank it. I know the river did get better. If I was going out of Ft Washington I would worry more about the septic tanks in PG county than the sewer plant. Actually I launch upstream of the plant. But you're right, the water coming from the plant is much cleaner than the water coming from the Susquehanna and other rivers flowing into the bay. Fecal matter in the water keeps many of the Chesapeake beaches closed for half the summer. Oh, and BTW, I don't respond to Harry who is doing little more than trolling. I put him in the same class as nincdepoop and jps - maybe down a couple notches. But, if you condone their behavior, then help yourself. Hey John it is like golf. You have to play wherever the ball lands. Sometimes it is in the fairway, sometimes you have to play out of the rough. I don't take any of this seriously enough to get mad at anyone. I think there are a lot of good people here who just get caught up in the rhetoric and say insensitive things. Yeah, but when my ball lands in a pile of wet cow ****, I play another one. |

What cheap golf courses are you playing? One of my finest drives hit a cow paddy. Lake Tahoe course and the cows got through the fence during the night. I hit a ball in to a bad lie, and absolutely hit out the ball perfectly. Is out about 200 years, on a slight uphill rise, following the hill up. About 6" above the ground most of the way. Hits an 8" high cow flop near the top of the hill. Ball does a 90 degree straight up. Up about 50'. Damn, would have been a 300 yard drive. In the correct direction. |

He had a 10' putt and right as he was hitting it a leaf landed right in the path of the ball. Classic "rub of the green". Do not watch golf and do not play anymore. |
