This is my post for #freewrite Monday prompt itchy neck hosted by @mariannewest.
I have heard of the saying that if your hand itches you are going to come into some money. If your foot itches, you are either going to take a trip or walk on foreign ground. I wonder what an itchy neck means, it could mean to much starch in your shirt or maybe you will eat something that you are allergic to.
An itchy neck could also mean you have been running all over the river with your head in one position, oh that is a sore neck which I had today. I went to the flat, black point, the sleuth, Melva's island, asshole dock, the leases and saw nothing. My husband texted me and said he had been to the inlet, coconut, west shore, the flat, pelican island, Paul's island and now he was at Hobarts which is 15 miles south of where I was. I did not want to run my motor that far but if I was going to have a chance of catching anything I was going to need to go south.
My husband texted and said he had 5, so south I went. By the time I got down there my back was killing me. I ran all over the place and never saw anything so I just anchored. I stayed there for 30 minutes and hadn't had a bite. I reeled 5 of my 6 rods in and picked up the last pole and it had a pompano on it, I got it right to the side of the boat and lost it. I fished till 4:30 and caught 2. My husband had 28 pounds.
He left at 3:30 and made it a mile from the ramp and his tiller handle broke. A tiller is what you hold onto to steer the boat, and give it gas. He put two U-bolts on it so he can fish tomorrow. He will need to order a new tiller. We get my motor working, now his is broken.....
