Yeah, I carry a sponge, I keep it on a mini leash so I cant loose it in the bowels of the boat! some carry a hand bilge pump....
My boat had at least 2-3 inches of water in the bottom! It took a bit to figure out what must be wrong!
I sent the pics to the email you PMd me....
Also, Chris thanks for the bait!
I did not catch anything, although I got hit by something, pretty sure a yellow the way the bait was stretched and smashed! I wasnt quick enough on the set....
Take care
