JimC Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Monday morning 9.30 am. I went to slide my boat off the floating dock and somehow managed to launch myself instead. If only I fell in on the deep side I would have only got soaked and cold. NO. Off I went on the shallow side. 30cm of water over the end of my concrete ramp. I climbed out, went up to the house and changed and completed the launch process correctly and went fishing. Tuesday morning I could hardly move with pain...I have a broken rib. Oh well 4-6 weeks of pain but it hasn't stopped me fishing...yet. Yes I did catch one luderick. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little_Flatty Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Dang, sorry to hear about that. Hopefully you’re not around anyone with a sense of humour…laughing hurts with broken ribs! This forum is also quite dangerous in this respect🤣 But you seem to be tough enough seeing as you continued the trip, so you might just be ok!

Rebel Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 It could have been worse. Broken ribs are a pain. I broke seven just over three years ago, so I know what you are going through. Get back to fishing that heals all wounds. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
