| I am sitting here living vicariously through all of you because for the first time since I was 13 I don't own a boat. I don't think I will make it the whole year without one. I look longingly at this pic from last year, ah those were the days.

Apparently I am also a retard, I couldn't load the pic

| Crap, I have a boat and no way to get it to the lake as I can't drive due to my limited vision. So I know how you feel. |

Location: The desert | Hey it could be worse! I have no boat and no vehicle! Not sure where you guys live but go pick up some waders and do some shore fishing, if there is a local river that has muskies in it finding a dam is a good place to start! Last year 3 of my 9 muskies came from a boat. All the rest were caught from shore. So dont let boatless be an excuse to stop fishing. |

Location: oswego, il | In '05 I had found myself without a boat, the first time since I was 16 years old which I think was back in the 1800's. I was a boat slut for almost 2 years and started borrowing my brother's boat last fall which I have recently purchased. It is nice to have a boat again. |

Location: Stevens Point | I'm with pointer, I catch fish every year from shore, it can be a lot cheaper alternative to having a boat. It makes follows even more exciting when you are in the water with the fish!! |

Location: Park Ridge, Illinois | I have a boat, vehicle to pull it, but no tackle box. See my lost box thread: http://muskie.outdoorsfirst.com/board/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=34...
I know this really does not compare, but thought I'd chime in. |

| I have a ton of gear and a truck to pull a boat but I don't have a boat because I don't have a place to keep one. Being boatless DOES suck. BAD...
I fish a lot thanks to the generosity of my friends here at Muskiefirst, but hving to rely on someone else to take me fishing? Man that blows. I hate to have to rely on anyone else for anything. Always feel like in the back fo their head they're thinking "buy a BOAT already you %$&*"...
Zachary -- man, I can't believe your stuff could just fly out of the boat, you sure someone didn't swipe it? |

Location: Wisconsin | I got divorced and had to sell my baby last fall. I miss her dearly (The boat that is). So, this year is my first without a boat in almost 10 years. Next year it is a new boat!! If anyone wants to offer up a trip on Okauchee or Oconomowoc, I would be willing to offer up gas money and/or some lures. Let me know. chad muskie metal lures

Location: Yahara River Chain | Pete, I'd be in Madison WI. Didn't realize that I wasn't logged in. I normally fire up the browser and I'm logged in. Not sure what happened there.
Next couple of weeks I'm busy (including a week long trip to Canada for eyes), but many of my June is open. |

| I was boatless for most of last year. I was a big slut, and I must say, I did enjoy it immensly! But I also am very glad to have my new Tuffy this year. Was well worth the wait. |
