Paul and I headed down to the BOQ on Thursday afternoon late and arrived around 6:30 p.m. Terry and Lloyd had invited us to dinner, but it was too late by the time we got there so we invited them over to our cabin for a chat. After they left Paul and I met some funny people around the fire and chatted with them the rest of the night. Friday was our best day and the weather was decent. We headed straight past the ferry and Paul got to use the new boards Our fish finder is set on fish, not hook (we prefer it that way), and this looked promising, although too deep for us. We don't fish that deep (kill zone). It sure looked like a good sign with that many fish feeding on a bait ball. Not long after the first line goes off and I reeled in this beauty. Not my PB, but my actual second only fish on BOQ Paul was up next with this nice 11 pounder (obviously not his PB either ) Another line goes off some time later and this one did not fight like a pickerel, which it was not. But it was a half decent pike. First one for me on the BOQ. Ever get the feeling someone is watching you hahahaha. These guys flew by us a few times during the day. That was it for Friday and we headed in so we could meet Terry, Lloyd, Jose and Paul at Gus's Restaurant in Picton. Here is Jose's mouse turd pie We had a group shopping trip at Giant Tiger after that and then the guys gave us a tour of Picton Harbour Inn, which was pretty nice. We watched a wrestling Tapout match and then headed back to Merland's for another night around the fire. We all know what Saturday brought us, which is high winds. Now Paul did manage to get a really nice pike on in this mess, a 12 pounder or more, and as I went to net it, the net malfunctioned and for some reason bonked the pike right in the head, knocking the lure out of its mouth. I hate when nets go bad Saturday night was the G2G at JJ's Smokehouse and it was great. Lloyd tried potstickers for the first time and liked them It was great seeing the guys again and also meeting Team Orangepeel!!!!! Great laughs guys. Sunday was not much better for wind and a very, very slow day for us. I took some random pics in my boredom. This barge has seen better days. We ended up with one perch for Sunday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. But it was nice to be out on the water and we had a wicked ride back over the crosswaves. Paul's offshore boating experience came in handy and it was a blast This morning we woke up to rain and fog so we decided to head back early instead of fishing for today. We might head back up for a night in the next few weeks. So all in all it was a great G2G, even tho Lloyd stole all our fish Here Lloyd and the boys heading off into the sunset Cheers, Joey

Great seeing you again Paul, and you are so right about the G2G stuff you said above, laughs, info, techniques, its all available from a great bunch of people here Not bad pics for a cell phone either Joey

All three reports are awesome Terry. We had alot of fun meeting up with and communicating with you guys all weekend. Thanks for the laughs, oh and the "hope" that there were actually fish in that bay Great pics and love all the smiling faces Just doing up our report now. Joey

You're couple hours late on this one http://www.ofncommunity.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=48470 But welcome aboard

Two really decent ski's there, good job Joey

I hope not hon, you can go back Sunday no?

Okay, I called and made reservations under OFC or Joey. It is 105 Main Street, Bloomfield. She says they have a killer band playing that night too so that will be nice. Just Google the map, its just outside of Picton, about 5 - 10 minute drive. Joey

105 main street, Bloomfield, just outside of Picton. Joey

Oh man, now that's funny

Hope all went well, fast recovery bud Joey

Thanks for the update, that's great news. Joey

Need a head count to make reservations for Saturday night in Picton. JJ's Texas Grill, 105 Main Street BLOOMFIELD, ON K0K 1G0 Phone: 613-393-1727 and boy do they know how to cook a steak. Also has a big screen TV if there's any sports on. You's guys over at Perfect Vu could probably pony up a few bucks and share a minivan taxi if you're worried about driving. Just a thought. So who's coming? Were already at 8 from the other thread so add a number if you're coming or might come if a DD or Taxi can take you. Somebody needs to take this dang trophy from cluttering up our den

Yes Boss

Joey, Paul and Roy makes 8.

Great report, nice laker thrown in there too Joey

So glad you can make it Wayne. I think we should meet for dinner there around 5 or 6 then. Should be good and hungry by then after a day on the water. So lets go with that plan and we'll firm up on Saturday by phone Joey

Now that's just funny My cat has me wrapped around his little paw. I know what you're dealing with Joey

Congrats Brandon. Nice big head on her and nice markings. Way to go Joey

Well if you'd rather go to another place Lloyd, let me know. And thanks Memart!

Okay, that's too bad, a bunch of us are going to be there if you change your mind. Joey

So I guess Saturday night will be the Trophy handoff to the 2010 winner Is everyone going to meet at a restaurant Sat. night? The one we went to last year was great and could accomodate. Can't remember the name tho. Lex, you remember? Joey

Having just seen you in action first hand not long ago, I can fully appreciate the whole video now. Really put together well Marc, the words in the song corresponded perfectly with what was happening in the vid Joey

Beautiful, nice fat, healthy ski, way to go Joey

Kinda like the banana in the tailpipe eh Great report, and do believe those down deep are the pickerel in the kill zone. Joey

That's just awesome, love the thumbs up Congrats Joey
