[CLOWN FISH] YOU STINK!


SUCCESS DOESN’T ALWAYS SMELL SWEET


Slime, spooge, snot and slobber, kayak fishing can get pretty messy. We asked Kayak Angler’s Facebook friends to share signs their gear needs an overhaul, or to be hauled off to the hazardous waste dump. Here’s the best of the worst.


I washed my waders in a tub and the government bought the water to use as a chemical weapon. Robert William Romaine, Dahlonega, GA


My mechanic asked me if anything was going to fall out when he opened the car door. I told him, “No guarantees.” Derek Horgan, Boston, MA


You know your kayak needs to be cleaned when you can’t find it be- cause it blends in with the dirt. Ralph Tomaccio, Bellingham, MA


You know your waders stink when the buzzards have to put hot sauce on them before they’ll try a bite. Ed Mashburn, Bay Minette, AL


You know your truck is a mess when your armrest is made of cans and tackle boxes. Shane Townsend, Austin, TX


You know your PFD is nasty when you use it for duck hunting and don’t have to worry about camouflage. Lefty Ray Chapa, San Antonio, TX


You know your PFD is stinky when you no longer need ‘skeeter repellant. John Hill, Bridgeport, CT


True story: One time I picked up my waders and two big spiders and a lizard came running out. Drew Haerer, Hillsborough, NC


You know your kayak is dirty when you’ve had fish vomit, feces and semen dry up and flies are swarming like a scene from the National Geographic channel. Rob Choi, Richmond, VA


You know your PFD is stinky when your friends start calling you “Chum”. Eric Holsinger, Saco, ME


If I cared about how I smelled amongst others while on the water, I would have bought a motorboat! Brad Hole, Seattle, WA
