Booked myself a spot on Friday!! I am really excited to get a chance to learn and fish with the pros 8)

Is anyone else from Ottawa thinking of going to this? I will be heading up on friday after work (gonna try and only work a 1/2 day). I will have an open seat in the truck if anyone is interested in car pooling for the long drive from the Ottawa area.

Depending on the weather, I will also be bringing my boat or kayak. If I bring the boat there will be an open seat there as well.

Cheers,

Marc

HAHA!! I wouldn't be going out into the BOQ in a yak...I'm crazy for fishing not just plain crazy...I would only be launching the yak on a calm evening staying close to the resort....plus I will more then likely be bringing the boat

not unusual to see yaks out there late fall Bill. We almost ran a couple over a couple of years ago as they were out at late dusk without lights....only saw them once there were within about 100 feet or so

Hookup, if your buddy is seriously intested let me know ASAP so I can hold a spot. 10 of the 12 spots are full, so we only have 2 spots left.

I have ads running in Big Jim's Magazine and in Ontario out of Doors, so I think they will go fast.

Looking forward to the institute. Its a ton of fun.

Scott,

Great chatting with you today, i'm now really pumped up and looking forward to this session. At the very least, it's fishing, so how can it possibly be a bad weekend!!!

I'm glad to hear that the spots are filling up. Do not hold anything, my "buddy" has a habbit of being a lazy sob.

Cheers,
Tim

If your in Gords Boat bring a bananna, he really likes them. I attended the fall walleye institute and did I ever learn alot , there is nothing like first hand knowledge and the boys know what there doing. Caught my first open water big eye 6.6 lbs with them and they told me the do's and do'nts on how to land it. Was a great weekend and met some new friends to boot. If you have the time I would highly recomend taking it, well worth it.
