My friend Paul and I have had great success fishing after sundown..... my favorite lures were jitterbug or hula popper. There's no words that can explain the thrill of top water bite when you can't even see the lure as you real it in and then you hear a big slash Keep at it and try different lures.... I'm sure that at some point you'll connect with some lunkers!!! Leechman

Ummmm OK.... somehow I knew this was coming Now I really feel much better about this Here is what went down just before I was drop on shore to get the Sunfire.... I recall Paul saying to back her up towards where he let me off, to the right of the launch and that is what I did..... but this launch have seen the Sunfire before without any glitches. When we go out fishing, I always go get the car and back it up for Paul so he can get the boat on the trailer and never had any problems so far until then. This time I was 12" too much on the right..... the launch, if you want to call it that, is very shallow and to get to boat off the trailer or onto it, the car needs to be backed into a couple of feet of water. This time I backed the car in the same spot as usual but while I was backing up I saw the trailer jump a couple of times and not paying attention to it much..... should of pulled out and re positioned it but once I hit the breaks, I hear Paul yell "BACK UP" so I proceeded to hit the throttle but what I didn't know was the back tire on the right hand side was just sitting flush on the front a big rock...... and once I got over it..... heard a big THUMP and that was that The frame of the car on the rear right was sitting on top of this big rock Then I hear Paul yell "BACKUP" "BACKUP" but there was no way the car would budge off So Paul got the boat off the trailer and went to shore.... when he got close to the car he said "DONT TURN IT OFF" so I sat in the driver seat while Paul unpinned the trailer, he tried to jack it up off the rock with the car jack. Tried to drive off while jacked but this attempt was unsuccessful and got the front end to dig deeper..... I then saw smoke coming off the front of the hood..... so Paul said to pop the hood up..... I then hear "TURN IT OFF". At this point Paul thought the motor overheated and the rad was leaking.... not good news at all so we decided to walk to the property owners house that was 2KMs away, when we got there, like Paul mentioned, nobody home...... THEN WHAT..... We were in a no cell phone zone and could not call for help... so we proceeded to go back and try to get the car out..... by then it was pitch dark.... got our flash lights and started to look for some piece of lumber.... we found a couple of 2"x 8s" and started to jack the right side.... got it high enough to slip one piece of lumber under the right front wheel and positioned the other piece under the frame to try and pry it off the rock.... we were successful in prying the car frame off the top of the rock so we wanted to do the same on the left but while I was cranking the jack down.... it broke Paul popped the hood up again and was looking to see if the rad was leaking.... It turned out that when the front of the car sunk a few inches deeper, the fan was slightly submerged in water causing it to throw water into the rad and hence the smoke....... boy o boy that was good news!!! Then Paul sat down in the driver's seat, started the car and put it reverse.... got it back far enough that when he put it in forward, drove right off onto dry land Was I ever happy to see the car off shore Then we had to get the trailer out by hand and pin it to the hitch of the car.... Paul repositioned the rig, stopped and got out of the car and said "OK JACQUES..... PART TWO" backed the car out some more and got the boat onto the trailer and the rest is history. We still had a good day out on the water and after driving a few kilometers we had a good laugh about it.... we weren't in any real danger but the though of seeing the car in that position and in water somehow just did not make sense. For those that ask if we caught fish.... read my report... it has all the specifics and pics of the day. Jacques

Chris water level was down yesterday at the lake we were in and made the launch a whole lot shallower then what it was this past July. Ontario Hydro just like QC are regulating the levels. They open the dams at full throttle and doesn't take long for it to drop to what they consider an acceptable level. My sister has a cottage on one the reservoir up by Lac St-Marie and they drop it several feet come fall My brother in law has to tie his boat dock fairly secure before they close the cottage up in September..... the dock actually sits on dry land when Hydro QC are done with the drainage. Come spring, you have 8 to 10 feet of water at the end of the dock. Jacques

I cannot help you with your question but would like to welcome you both to OFC Good luck on your moose hunt!!! Leechman

Good luck with your charter trip Cliff and be safe!!!
