We met up with our usual partner in crime today, Terry, on Simcoe to do some fishing. Had a special guest with us, Fidel (Highdrifter) and headed out to the planned spot where Lloyd and Keith were already set up.
We followed Terry out, making a Fidel sandwich on our sled, pulling two huts with all our gear. Before you know it, Terry is airborne, and then so were we. Must have cleared a good 12 feet before we landed with a thud. We all got off and made sure nobody was hurt, flipped back over the overturned huts and had a good laugh. Epic was the word Fidel used I think. Checked the sled and found some cracks Some yahoo moved his hut and did not put a branch or tree to mark it and you couldn't see the big mound until you were right on it. Oh well, nobody too hurt so time to move on.
Total damage to us was the sled, Paul's fishfinder and my new thermos. Terry broke a rod and a few other items, he can post his losses!
Got to where Lloyd and Keith were already set up and got ourselves set up. Not long after, Terry has a fish on and a nice whitie at that Yes its true, Terry caught a fish
Shortly after that, Keith got a nice laker, followed by a whitie!!!
Paul had one on, but it got off And I've come to the conclusion that its easier for a man to do everything with his tongue sticking out
Then I had one on, but it got off too
Lloyd also had some on and then off again.
We still marked fish the rest of the day, but no takers. Some good follows, but then back down they went.
Paul and Fidel shared a hut and I could hear laughter all day
We had a pretty uneventful ride back (thank God) and are home safe and sound, ready for the next outting.
Great to see you Terry, Lloyd, Fidel and Keith, we had a nice day fishing with you today
