I've peed on Bucket before, too Beer is fine while fishing, limited to quantities that don't change the personality or the motor skills of a person IMHO

Never could drink more than about 2 beers in a month...stuff just makes me feel like a balloon.. However, I have been known to pack along a small quantity of the Nectar of the Gods (more commonly known as Yukon Jack). On those real ccccooolllllldddd, nasty, rainy days it can be a life saver. Just an ounce or 3 in your coffee and you will feel better. Promise! One rule on my boat is "NO DRUNKS". I'm not about to go diving into the river to drag some dumb ass's ass out who has had too much to drink. (If you fall over while taking a pee, or trip over the anchor line (???) that's different..) Got no problem with anyone drinking...so long as they know their limits and stay within them. Mike

I always thought Yukon Jack was more commonly know as "Bite Enducer"??

On a similar note: Say you've had 3 or 4 beers while trolling for salmon. The call of nature beckons so you whip it out over the side of the boat. Just as the flood gates are opened ol' mr. salmon hits and starts ripping line from your reel threatening to spool your arse...
Knowing there is no way to stop once you've started, do you let go of the garden hose and grab your fishing rod, peeing all over the inside of the boat and all over yourself, or do finish what you've started and risk getting spooled???
Any fisherman worth his salt can handle 2 rods with ease. It is the ones that can handle 3 at a time that I avoid.

My autosigniture should give you guys an idea of my love of . Being Irish Catholic it pretty much runs in the family. Having said that I do not drink and fish at the same time. Being drunk just does not enhance the fishing experiance for me in anyway. Of course it could just be I'm simply too hung over from the night before to be able to enjoy a drink on the water!

I've always heard that if you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day. If you teach a man to fish, he'll sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

I hope you had enough respect for your boatmates to at least tuck your wiener back in your skivies Originally posted by Pat Graham: If Piper was in the boat I would get drunk hit a rock just so I could nock him out for a swim!!! Thanks Pat... :rolleyes: You'd probably back up on the sticks and row over me a few times too... just for good mesure... From now on the beers in the front seat with me... if I swim, the beer swims

There's one kind of beer that tastes fantastic while out fishing...... ALL of em!
Actually, there is one that stands above the rest...here's a little joke to help you figure it out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Best Beer !
After a Beer Festival, in London, all the brewery presidents decided to go out for a beer.
The guy from Corona sits down and says "Hey Sen~or, I would like the world's best beer, a Corona." The bartender dusts off a bottle from the shelf and gives it to him.
The guy from Budweiser says "I'd like the best beer in the world, give me 'The King Of Beers', a Budweiser." The bartender gives him one.
The guy from Coors says "I'd like the only beer made with Rocky Mountain spring water, give me a Coors." He gets it.
The guy from Guinness sits down and says "Give me a Coke." The bartender is a little taken aback, but gives him what he ordered.
The other brewery presidents look over at him and ask "Why aren't you drinking a Guinness?" and the Guinness resident replies "Well, if you guys aren't drinking beer, neither will I."

you don't NEED any beer for a good fishing trip, unless you're trolling for trout, in that case, a case of beer between two guys will be suffice...i drink a lot...6 nights a week, hasn't been a problem in my life up to this point i.e. never had a dui, wife doesn't nag, play with my little baby constantly, never called in "sick" because of a hangover, etc.....the majority of the time i fish for salmon/steelhead i'm wading so not only do i not want to carry a half rack with me, it can also be dangerous, depending on where/when/how daring you are...many times on the skok i have filled my limit, whether it be the current 1 fish or the 4 fish limit later on, and will go grab a sixer and sass my buddies while i wait for them to try to get theirs....and it doesn't take a drunk to offend people with questionable language-just tuesday on our wade back upriver to the truck, we were walking out empty handed and he said he better not drink any beers on the way home or his wife will never believe that he was really fishing so i came back with "well we better stop off at a whorehouse so at least you can go home smelling like fish!!"....just at that time i see a 12 year old girl sitting along the tree line with her little brother while their dad continued to fish, i felt like such a frigging idiot, i wanted to crawl under a pile of nets!! i apologized for my language and got on my way, sometimes my wit gets the best of me, when i have a good comeback it's most effective presentation is immediately following the setup, oh well it's bound to happen again sometime, hopefully no time soon...the great outdoors should be a safe place to take the kids out and not have to worry about rejects like me and my loud mouth, but realisticly, the skok at the peak of the king run is not the place for virgin ears...my son will be there with me when he's old enough and i'm sure he'll hear some things his mother would not approve of but it's nothing more than what's said on their school playgrounds on a daily basis anyway!! to sum it all up, unless you're kicking back plunking or trolling for trout, save the major beer consumption for post fishing celebrations

I work weekends just to avoid the drunk aholes on the weekend. I'll fish with people who drink, but I won't take out newbies who want to learn how to salmon fish while they knock back a six pack. Honestly I prefer people leave the booze at home and just smoke pot. Less violence, less mouthy, and less testostorone induced stupidity. Of course they may never actually make it past just slipping on thier Tevas to fish but I won't complain. Saw 3 assaults tonight from the Bar Code. One young man sent out on helicopter to Harbor View for possible neurosurgery. All drunk as usual. I like a few drinks, but the reality of life is that the stuff is dangerous.
