Bathroom break

First off, what a great site this is for not only me, but also my boys... I've even have my 12 year old reading and learning as much as he can as he wants to try his luck in the future pro's next year!!

My question is, what do you do when mother nature calls? I've watched classics, etc on TV but you never see what you need to do when you just can't wait any longer... I'm diabetic and no way can I make it 8 hours. I know my boys will have similar problems.

Any ways, if we ever do get good enough to get into a tournament, what's the procedure

thanks in advance, Dan

Dan,

If you are uncomfortable "whizzin" over the side of the boat, carry a "pee" can you can "whiz" into and then simply dispose of over the side of the boat and rinse out real well. I do this at lakes where I there are no available facilities and people I don't want to see me "whizzin" such as Clear Lake when I am fishin' near houses (ie. someone's backyare

)

I think it's K-Mart that has a bag type urinal. Sports dept/Camping section.They come as a three pack. Inside is a absorbant so you can store for later disposal. What we do is take the absorbant material out and use the bag over and over again. My wife is also my team partner So....

Theres also the Auto John.

I get up every morning at 5 AM. I have developed a habit on purpose to use the John at a few minutes after 5. I have done this on purpose so as to not have to deal with the number two problem on the water.

Are you allowed to get off of your boat to use the restroom during a tournament?

Barry Watson · Post by **Barry Watson** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 12:14 pm

My partners dad used to say, "You can depend on Depends."

I take a one a day pill called Flomax which helps us older guys with the number one problem. The coffee can is really great though. As for the trout drop, good luck. don't eat any bad burritos and go fishing. LOL

Bob Simard · Post by **Bob Simard** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 12:14 pm

... on the venue

no houses and I gotta go, I go. In a tournament, I usually watch what I eat in prefish leading up to it, so I don't have to drop trouw and hang it all out during the event. Coffee and Copenhagen in the morning gets me cleared out. But I've always got a roll of toilet paper in the boat.

I try always to be respectful of houses and can pretty much get my standup business done as inconspicuously as possible - even on Clearlake in the keys this can be done quick and easy (health considerations aside - immobility, prostate, etc.)

But time is everything. I'm not going to put my gear away, vest up, and run to the middle of the lake, or to a restroom, to take a leak.

If I'm fishing a ProAm and draw an Am who needs a restroom - well, I'll cross that bridge when I get there! I've fished with 70 plus year old Dudes as well as Female draws. Never been a problem.

Good question though - shat-ting in your live wells? GD man that is both hilarious AND disgusting!

Regards,

Bob Simard

Be careful though, I overheard a conversation in a local tackle shop about a guy who was unloading his boat and had to take a leak, there was nobody around so he just went by a close tree, as he was doing his business, a ranger pulled up and saw him. Slapped him with a ticket. The guy went to court for it and the judge slapped him as a sex offender for indecent exposure or something like that. The guy telling the story might have been stretching the truth, or he could of been telling the truth, but none the less that would SUCK!!!!!

Dewayne · Post by **Dewayne** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 12:29 pm

If fishing Discovery Bay or many areas on Clear Lake you have to put a little thought into it. I will usually stop before heading into Disco and take a leak. Clear Lake I stop while making runs out in the middle of the lake and take care of business. It's pretty tuff to stay focused on fishing when your eyes are turning yellow.

Some lakes you can go anywhere with pretty good privacy, some have floating rest rooms, most have Marinas or launch ramps with rest rooms, there are always options. I always carry toilet paper on the boat just in case.

For tournaments it is important to read the rules and know your options. Most allow for you to make emergency restroom visits. As a practice I leave time every morning to sit for a few moments and "get focused" on my throne.

Now for the BASS events from what I remember you cannot leave the boat. You do it over the side or you hold it, they do not care, but you do not leave the boat and you do not get ticketed. The one Tour event I fished the Pros I drew were very conscious of this. They did not drink morning coffee and they controled what they ate so they would not have to go. WIth spectator boats and camera boats it is much tougher on the Tour.

I have an idea that works for women #1 and also guys #2 although in 6 years on CL only once has a partner had to #2.

Carry a pancho on board. You can squat in the open in complete private. They can guess but they can't prove it.

jiggin_pimpin · Post by **jiggin_pimpin** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 1:05 pm

Mine is pretty simple. I just pee into the drink. Now #2 is a whole other story in itself. Never had to bust a #2 while in a tourney, but i prevent that by watching what I eat the day before and if there is even an inkling that I might have to deuce, I take 2 Immodium AD's in the morning and unload at night.

Hope that helps.

anyone ever heard the story skeet told about dean rojas turnin in skeets buddy for lettin a brown trout go and gettin dq'd?

SABP · Post by **SABP** » Thu Jan 31, 2008 1:15 pm

1) Eat very lite the night before a tourney
2) Coffee is natures best drain cleaner in the morning.
3) Always sit on the throne and think about the days fishing
4) Don't start drinking fluids until after 10AM
5) Always carry t-paper in the boat in a ziplock bag
6) Fishing around tules give you more cover if you have to go (rock and tules is better because thats where the fish are also.
7) Know where every bathroom on the lake is before going out.
8) Always carry kao or pepto on the boat in case the stomach goes sour.
9) Always drain the bilge before going to weigh in. (all that water running in the holding tanks is brutal if you forgot to go)
10) Never ever float a brown trout in the livewell...thats sick!
11) Never try and whiz and set the hook on a topwater fish at the same time. Enough said!

Oroville has floating shitterz, but always bring yer own TP.

On some lakes it almost impossible to find a decent place to dump and run...

If you have that little compartment between the seats you can line it with a couple plastic bags and turn it into an insta-potty... If you are good at wood working, you can craft a mini potty seat for it to make it a wee bit more comfy. It's generally a good idea to grab the rain poncho and use it to drape over your exposed unmentionables... When done, wipe, zip-tie the bags, and hide it in one of your buddies rod lockers when you get back to weigh in.... LOL

If I am on the Delta, there is a nice dock in Sandmound I like to visit.... HA HA HA.... Just kidding Cooch...

Don't wave it more than twice--you could go blind or cause hair to grow on your palms.

In addition to the ones at Oroville that nipples mentioned, Berryessa and Folsom have floating outhouses as well. Never had to use 'em but I'm glad they're there!
