Jazman, you summed that up very eloquently.

I however, am currently sitting at my bros place in the big smoke. He is about to run me down to get my car and watch as I take a big hit to my wallet. :(

With that being said, fellas, I had a ball in spite of the car troubles. This weekend was supposed to be about fishing for me, and in spite of the little time I got, it was great (well the company was).

A big thanks goes to Hoss for sharing a seat in his boat. A gentleman indeed, and a riot to boot. Thanks Hoss, appreciate the trip and the offers for post fishing car support.

Markus, another huge thanks goes out to you and PL. Thanks for putting me up and listening to me whine about the station wagon. And as much for the offers of ongoing to support to get me back on the road again.

And FFF, what can I say. Martin stuck around to help me get what I need to get done on the car (well, as much as could be done). Martin stood out with me in the rain breaking our balls and freezing our fingers trying to get a belt back onto the car. Thanks again so much for the limo service and helping me out.

Now, back to fishing, lets see some more of those pics folks (but you can leave Ballerina Bill out) :evil: .

(p.s. Markus, I will be back!!!)

Absolutely Fantastic. What can I say.....I'm jealous! I want to go the next time. :lol:

I will build up some credits into the emotional bank account and we should be good for a couple days.

Thanks again to Markus and Pink Lady for puttin up with us.....great hosts as always!

Who won at Poker?.....well Bass Pro did....as Jaz and I stopped in on the way home... :wink:

Watching Jammer battle that carp will probably one of my highlights for the year.....to give you an idea how long it was...Markus and Jaz were both able to relieve themselves over the side during the battle... :shock: :lol:

One thing that wasn't mentioned....that Monster Rockie....came on a Pinkie too!... :lol:

Great to meet a bunch of new faces.....hope to get out on the water with you again soon....

Great spending a few hours out in the boat with Jammer.....he does smile....usually as he's talking about himself in the 3rd person...."Jammer slams another one!!!!".... :lol: :lol: :lol:....man that was fun....

Highlights for those who were there....

The Viking....
Jammer would be starving if....
Wilson loved MM's sleepin bag...

Markus wrote:I sure wish a few boats would have come back and tried erie with us. What a blast. SiverBass, Rock Bass, Carp, Sheepies, Shad, and of course the odd oos SM and LM. After drifting the Niagara all morning in that slow action, you'd be suprised how excited a guy gets when he hooks into a rockie! :lol:

That carp was something else. Great work Jammer. Light rod and 8lb test and a ton of patience was the key.

Good time guys. Can't wait to do it again.
Awsome report Jazz.... :D :D :D

Glad you guy's got into some, .... finally. :!: :!: :wink:

....Wish we'd have followed you down now, ....it was 50-50 for awhile, ....I think it was Hoover's first snore, ...that made up my mind, :lol: ....oh well, ...next time I'll know better...

Terrific pics, ...and some nice fish there, ....great carp jammer.... :wink:

Well done

Post by Legend »

:) Well done lads. I'm impressed anytime someone turns a negative into a positive. :D

The weather was crap, but the fellowship was clearly worth the effort. It was great seeing the Ottawa lads as well as the South Westerners.
Jazman... Excellent Story! MT Gastank I hope you got that collectors piece running again... Jammer, I saw teeth in two pictures! :shock:

If I learned anything from this excursion... Bring all your gear when you go fish-hawkin', you'll never know what you'll end up doing. :D

Looking forward to Westmeath... We might get a few there huh... :D
