Cliff, that's a pretty good idea.... I could park it over the edge of a brush pile and use the leaf blower technique from the other thread to get the water boiling.
Dave, I'm looking pretty much like one of those racoons now after sitting down to dinner. I think I know how they must feel after being in the corn patch all night.
Harv, it's a sad day when a man lets his boat sit still long enough for hornets to build a nest on the side. I discovered this last week after trying to replace a tarp. I got stung twice, once when I was yanking the tarp over the boat and walked past the nest, and the second time in the house after inadvertently carrying one inside on my clothing. After chasing down a hornet in my house for 20 minutes, I went out during the night and sprayed foamy hornet spray directly into the entrance hole. I figured my technique of using gasoline on the underground yellow jacket nests was not going to work on this situation. None came out of that foam and I could hear all manner of buzzing inside. I haven't seen a live hornet since, and I can see dead ones stacked up in there like cord wood ....so now just trying to get brave enough to remove the nest.
Although, I could leave the nest on and take my sweet time at the local boat ramp. Wonder what kinds of reactions I would get there from the other boaters? Especially if I ran around waving my hands in the air and acted like a swarm was after me. There might be some high tailing out of there.
I could just leave the nest on, launch the boat, and drive around while letting the water knock off the dead hornets, and larve, and say chum the water real good, then grab the bluegill rod for some hot action.
Thanks guys, for all the ideas.
