Ok I'll start the bidding $1000.00

Nope

Good on you for helping Cliff! I'm going to play devils advocate here though. you stated that you "had three different hooks in the water with different baits (minnow, plastic worm jig and white jig). none got a bite" I hope you were using one rod at a time? "So i bought fake but 100% natural 3' minnows" What size hooks are you using? Might want to downsize your minnows to something in inches Sorry it's a bad day I'm not where I wanted to be right now Cheers Whopper

I'll second that Roy! Dan get out and get ya some! Thanks for sharing! Whopper

Awesome first outing! Congrats Whopper

Awesome written report! Sounds like another satisfied customer! Thanks for posting Whopper PS Where did you find the eagles nest?

Carole if you wait long enough into the evening none will probably notice Go for it

LOL Doug I don't think either one realized where they were let alone remembered

Marc, GCD shirtless is bad enough but a kilt is over the edge even for him

Set the hook!

Good Luck Mike!

Congrats on your new ventures!

Sorry to hear about your car Tom, wish that was my excuse. Hope things work out for ya bud! Maureen your nuts , I thought I could wheel, but that would have to be a twenty four hour drive for ya! Whopper

Bring a set of warm clothes and decent rain gear. You can always shed clothes but you can't put them on if you don't have them. Good Luck! Whopper

Good deal Clive, glad to here everything is well. Whopper

Dang Fang, I have seen and heard more of these types of reports this year, it's a shame. A group that I have gone with in the past usually takes 8 or 10 people and this year they started with 8 and now are down to just five. Good Luck! Whopper

Good Luck Graham!

Call Anglers Retreat and see what they will do for ya, Loyd usually has a couple spare boats sitting around. Good Luck Whopper

Bang on Connie, I'm sure Will will be a repeat customer. Sure miss the golden eyes, the ones we catch at Lake Erie might be bigger but don't compare in color. We didn't have any ice, frozen pipes, only two employes in camp and Brett gone? Uh didn't even notice. Like I said before it's a special place. Thanks for the rest of the story! Whopper

Thanks for the compliment Sandy. It was great to spend a week with good people at a great place. Kinda of funny though the one evening I could see the flash from the photo shoot but couldn't see your boat. Tell the big guy that I have not forgot the offer. Thanks for sharing Whopper

Good Luck Lew and be safe! Have fun everyone, not that I had to tell ya Whopper

These threads are killing me, I guess since I am unable to attend this year I'll sit by myself in a moment of inebriation in honor of the event some 600 plus miles away. I wonder if I can get GCD to send me some of that magic potion so I get the full effect Whopper

Dutch sorry to hear that your dream turned sour. Good thing you ordered an inspection, it did what is supposed to do, protected your interest. Cliff you are bang on about agents "They are no different" than any other professional, I know I live with one (30years) and see the other side of the coin. Talking calls at all hours, days (even holidays) and inopportune times at the house. Having to play nursemaid to people that can't think for themselves, wearing the hat of financial advisor and lastly general contractor. The last is a pet peeve of mine, why do people that sell or buy their house expect and agent to become their personal repair consultant?, line up a roofer, plumber, electrician, carpenter and HVAC tech while selling or buying a house and even after the deal is done? and if some happens to the repairs that were done in the process god forbid that they call the people that performed them they have to call the realtor first!, then it becomes the agents problem once again for which they receive zero compensation for. The way I see it because agents are paid on a commission basis all most sellers and buyers just see that big amount that are paid out at closings and think that these people are making a killing well for one thing the company gets a cut then government gets theirs then the agent gets theirs then have to pay their expenses, yes some make pretty decent money but the good ones earn every penny of what the get and thrive in very competitive field. Didn't really mean to rant here just an obsevation from the other side of the coin. Good Luck in your new home! Whopper

I agree with Joey on this one! Yak with Roy and a cold beer
