    I don’t recall who the person was that gave me this hot tip about Swimming Noodles.

    Many of us carry hospital bed pans along for “when nature calls”. These fella was telling me that he uses a noodle for the guys to carry the liquid over the side of the boat.

    Cat guys come up with the cleverest ideas.

    My method is to cut both end off of a “wiffle bat”. Mighty fine extention.

    Doesn’t anyone just whip it out and tinkle over the side of the boat anymore?

    During cold water periods and rough conditions, the wiffle bat is the perfect solution to remain safely in the boat. Also, as Vandy would say, “keeps the gunwells clean so you can set your sandwich down” Or something like that.

    I thought that was what the splashwell was for

    Had to do that on Erie a few years back. Old boy in the boat with me says, “I don’t want to pee in your boat”. I laughed and said with the with 7-8 footers crashing the transom, I’m pretty sure it will get washed out.

    Pug, I don’t know if it’s true or not, but I heard in WI 50% of boating drownings, the victim was found with their zipper down…indicating they may have been too close to the edge of the boat.

    Either way, the safest place to be in a boat is in the seat.

    This has been a public service announcement from Briank’s Trophy Catfishing Adventures

    Are you saying that with the noodle, I can pee from the comfort of my seat?

    Do they make noodles with large holes in the middle?

    Reminds me of the old joke. “Dang it, Ole, the lake’s made of beer! Pee in da boat!”

    Well if it is too wavy or I am tipsy, I just pee in my brother’s jacket or tackle box when he isn’t looking. Oh, not you Ron, the other brothers.

    Pug’s cat tip of the day. Acidic water makes your bullheads more lively.

    2 inches of clothes plus 6-8 inches of gunnel = all you dreamers need an extender to hit the water……..

    If it’s your boat, I just pee all over it. What do I care?

    I think he was referring to missing your cloths in my boat.

    Alright…this thread is dead without pictures!

    Point is there are many ways to keep a person away from the edges of a boat…more so at night. Fast water, snags down stream of the boat and leaning over the edge all add up to unpleasant things.

    PDF and a urinal of sometime are a must.

    I thought by now Steve would have a picture of his Mens Head on his toon!

    I knew if I waited long enough the point of this post would become clear. What was the point again?

    At the risk of posting “on topic”, a 24 oz plastic cup usually works fine for me. Unless I’ve had too much coffee.

    But, if I have to go over the side, so be it…
