Okay, got there on Friday at about 1:00pm, only to find that my cottage was occupied by squatters. Went the eviction route complete with paperwork, only to decide that it wasn't worth it. The guy that was in my cottage was absolutely huge and looked fast........wait a minute, that wasn't the guy, that was his boat. Anyway, had a couple of pops, had a moke, cooked up some StripLoins, Shrimp and a tater, snarfed and then went fishing. Calmer than David Suzuki in a busted pair of overalls. Nada. Gave it up and came in to cull the brown pop population at the Rainbow Room. Friday night was an alright party, met Dan the Man, did a bit of serious drinking, had a moke and a laugh, shot the breeze with Superdad, watched DeProp do his "Dances with Fire" routine. Unproductive fishing, but a good party.
Fished all day Saturday...everywhere with everything......a 6/10 for Wayne-o-Mac (which we never heard the end of). Saturday nights
part was great, Jimbo and the boys were a hoot as usual. Pete was a laugh, love the hat inscription. We gotta get Bob Suzuki there next year, maybe get him to donate some herniated pants for the prize table.
All in all, DeProp did an excellent job of keeping Wayne-o-Mac vertical for most of the weekend, unfortunately, and I must apologize Jimbo, on behalf of the entire Walleyes Only crew, for the early night fade. Frankly, I was embarassed and only hope that my tenacity and capacity for goodies redeemed them as a whole. I'm going to put them all into training for the opener, I can't be associated with Faders and Nappers.
Patio got technology. The days of standing on a picnic table waving mere photos around are gone, replaced with the hand-held ability to actually make the fish bigger and to zoom into all parts of its anatomy. It's sad how technology can take away some of the more entertaining aspects of our lives.....
Got a beef with the owners. Merland Park was not that great. I distinctly remember ordering the "Large Fish, Perfect Water, Scantily Clad Women" package on-line. All I got was the "Skunk, Get-Soaked-Coming-Back-from-Thompson's, Fat-Guy-in-Bob-Suzuki-Underwear" package. I musta hit the wrong icon when ordering.......? Seriously, great spot, great party.
As usual, missed the group photo (man, just like "High" school), missed the chili and the fish. I think that it's downright rude that everyone doesn't wait for me.
Sunday a.m. the rain, wind and jungle beat in my head prevented me from becoming vertical until about 10:00, at which point we said "screw it" and went home to the loving arms of our wives....
72 names on the board and thirty-something fish weighed in, that's better than a 50% skunk rate. Not nearly as good as last year for numbers, although the weights seemed to be a little better. I'm gonna get me a fleur-de-lis for the boat for next year, 'cause the Beckers seemed to do well.
Might be back in a couple of weeks for another kick at the cat. If not, Jimbo, Patio, Superdad, Dan.....see you boys for the May opener.
