i'll try my best g, but something in the air up there gives me a perma-smile.. any ideas what it is joe?

i know i've got an untapped keg in the basement, we'll see whats in it this weekend.. i dont think i've got the time to get anything else together doesnt everyone get that face after spending that much time with headhunter? i can definately make it, but there's not much of a chance of it being drinkable by the g2g. .

g! i'm thinking that store bought beer will be my preference this year.. i think the kegged beer was bad luck, may have been the reason for my skunk.. looking forward to doing another terri schiavo impersonation up there!

ouch! i had my old, non-pin, card disabled as well. i wasnt nearly as far away from home as you were, but it was frustrating non the less..

the chip doesnt provide the bank with the ability to 'turn your account off'..

i could be wrong, but you possibly sold me a couple kegs late last winter/early spring, that have been awesome brew keggles for me..

wayne, i had the same thing.. down here they pretty much force you into getting the new photo card.. threatening to charge you per visit.. mike

there's your problem right there... you need to forget the bait in the fridge..

we were in hay bay the entire time, within a km of perfect view..

joe, the other key to our success was your endless supply of "fish whistles".. me too man.. that musky you owe me is accruing interest too eh?

nicely done dude.. hot 'n tots are money..

This would be my third time up to Quinte for a G2G.. hadn’t caught a fish there yet so I was more or less looking forward to having a few drinks without having to sort out a screaming kid, than I was to catching fish. I was also a little worried about fishing the bay out of my little rig, but Headhunter assured me, “we’d be fine”. Picked Headhunter up around 9.30am on Friday.. had a pretty uneventful drive up to Perfect View, though I learned some interesting new things about lama’s and goats. Along with some stuff about band camp, and a tuba. Upon finding out about my career bad luck on the bay, Joe said I could take the first rod that went off.. Didn’t think much of it, no way we were going to catch a thing anyways. By the time we were all unpacked and ready to go, we figured we’d only get about an hour in before it was too dark. We marked fish a short ride from the camp so we put out our rigs. We had about a half hour of Headhunter tricking me with “THERES! A nice cottage” and “THERES! Not a fish on that line”. He finally looks at the starboard rod and calmly says “I got one here”. Ya, like I was going to buy that. I figured it was another one of his tricks. get me to stand up, grab the rod and say “Got ya!”… Seriously I wasn’t going to fall for it...... ok i bit... grabbed the rod and Joe talked me through bringing in my first Quinte ‘eye. A little 4.5lbs girl.. That night I celebrated… We’d set out a chair in memory of Gerritt.. I had the intention of preventing anyone from sitting in it for the weekend.. I failed.. We had a nice visit from two Lloyd's, two Irishfields, two Terry's and two dano's.. i could have been seeing double though. One of the Lloyds made himself at home in Gerritt's chair.. Sorry G, the motivation was there to say something, but I lost all advanced motor functions a couple minutes after they arrived. then did my best turnip impersonation the rest of the time they were there.. Irishfield learned from last years visit and came fully prepared. Gerritt's Chair (with the yellow sheet on it) Next morning Headhunter and I started Me and YOU fishing charters.. We were up and on the water at Mike O’Clock (read: 9.30).. Didn’t take us long to get the first fish.. a dirty, stinking pike.. he stuck around just long enough to cause a huge mess of hooks and net.. he was released without a picture.. stupid pike.. Quickly changed that lure to something that I thought looked nice… Didn’t know what it was, but it was in my box for a reason. Asked Headhunter what he thought of it.. Apparently it doesn’t work anymore, I was less than optimistic when he said “that thing hasn’t got a fish on Quinte in 10 years”.. I didn’t care, it was going on.. within an hour or two we were both running it.. We had a good day on the water, lots of fish for the both of us, a lot of Headhunter calling Irishfield and Wil.. (“Where’s Wil?” seemed to be asked a couple hundred times through the day) Here’s some of Saturdays fish ranging from 5-11 lbs Sunday, miraculously we both got up early.. lots of fog, didnt matter, we weren’t going far. About 500 yards off the dock and I’m completely lost.. good thing for Headhunter auto pilot pointing me which way to go.. finally broke out the gps, just to comfort me.. didn’t really help all that much because when the fog lifted we were nowhere near where I thought we were.. in fact we’d probably been trolling back and forth over our hot spot the entire time. We’re not going to talk about that one fish eh Headhunter? sunday fog: Anyways, to save the boat from a skunking, Headhunter picks up our biggest of the weekend at 12lbs. that was the only fish that made it to the boat on Sunday. bunch of other boats out sunday when the fog cleared: HH can add more if he wants, i've probably forgotten quite a bit..

i prefer people who talk violently in their sleep..

lol.. we've had a bunch of ideas, though most of them revolved around human waste though..

i know your pain.. we've got a neighbour that washes his cars and dries them with the leaf blower, most of the time at 7:30am.. he's getting a shamwow for xmas from us.. mike

dont think your credit has anything to do with it.. unless you've applied for a loan or something, the bank doesnt have access or authorization to view your credit report.. even then the report isnt valid for all that long..

i'm pretty sure those hooks aren't really there.. i'm convinced that they're hallucinations brought on by too many lemon drops mixed with those funny smelling "cigarettes" that seem to be ever present in the cabin.. if they were indeed hooks, that magic raspberry shortcake lure (whatever the hell its called), that you and Gerritt worshiped, would have got me a fish... right?

nice report.. my first time up there was this past july for a week.. quickly became one of my favourite lakes.. hittin the chute to Audion (sp?) was a little nerve wracking, but the fishing was worth it in there.. we stayed at Alwaki Lodge, awesome place.. mike

i've been having problems sleeping ever since that night

i'll toss a +1 for the energizers.. switched out the old deep cycle for one at the start of the season.. i've gone twice for a week both times without the luxury of having a place to plug in the charger.. i used it every day the last time and still had juice left at the end of the week.. mind you my boat's not the heaviest out there and the motor is 12v 45lbs.. but i know the old battery would've lasted a day, maybe two if i rationed the power..

does the switch have a fuse?

where you stayin on kipawa? you dont need anything fancy.. we caught as many on our cheap combos as we did on our pricier ones.. the walleye were everywhere.. mike

wow.. you musta been the same guy i had call us a month or two ago.. was the call really hard to hear? the guy was breaking up really bad and i was eating so i said 'not interested' and hung up.. he rang us back almost immediately yelling at me for hanging up on him.. he said we filled out a ballot at home depot.. i said 'bull poop we did', and told him to never call this number again and hung up.. that was the end of it.. mike

always have good luck up there with mepps black fury, yellow dots.. white plastic lizards work well up there as well.. mike

sorry to hear, deepest sympathies to you and your family wayne.. mike
