So my daughters’ boyfriend and I leave Hamilton for a great day of fishing. We should of had taken the hint when the engine caught on fire at the gas station.... I spilled oil on the manifold and it caught on fire. Fortunately I was able to blow it out before it became a real problem.
We then drove on to Belleville where we met Sam at Carras, what a nice fellow! He advised us on some lures, we bought them and drove on to Nappanee.
In Nappanee he did a quick clean up of the car, (the boyfriend, not Sam), and put all the garbage into a bag and I tossed it away at a variety store. On to Perfect Vue we go.
We arrive, do the meet & greet, and talk about the lures we just bought. I ask him to get the lures out of the car, and he cannot find them.........Our powers of deduction come into play; we realize the lures are in the garbage in Nappanee. I hop in the car and dash off to Nappanee, 2 minutes out, the alternator light comes on and I realize This is NOT going to be as good of a weekend as I thought! I make to town and back, decide the solution is best sought out in the morning and socialize for the rest of the evening. Laughs were had, stories were told, and a good time was had by all.
We wake up to the sound of rain hitting the roof, I am grateful I brought my rain gear. Memart is our ride for the day. Man did we luck out with him as teacher! He is very knowledgeable and willing to share. Thanks again for letting us ride with you! Sadly we were skunked, but we learned a tremendous amount about precision trolling. It is a challenging thing to do as a rookie, but very effective at getting your baits where you want them.
At the end of the day, we headed back to Nappanee, on a freshly charged battery, (thanks again for the loan, I forget your name, but am grateful nonetheless ) and get to CTC. $400 later we are on our way home OUCH! The drive home was surprisingly uneventful, kind of a lunch bag letdown. but a welcome one though.
