I'm still pretty tired from the 23 hour drive back, so not much in the storytelling department this time... but here are the highlights and lowlights. 8 of us in the cabin, John (cowanjo) from the board and 5 new faces to us. Great bunch of guys, I'm sure John will add to this post. Thanks again John for all your organization for this trip. Water temperatures - swung from as high as 82F to as low as 66F while we were there. 3 straight days of gale force winds. Could not get to our milk run during that time, but as a result explored some new water and learned a few new patterns. A 30 minute boat ride under normal conditions becomes a 3 hour white knuckle ordeal in 6 to 8 foot tightly packed angry waves. First time I have ever seen Andrew stress out. The Princecraft took a real pounding but thankfully came out still floating Despite the adverse conditions, the results were good - most muskies the two of have landed in a LOTW trip so far (15), with Andrew kicking my butt 11-4. Nine of Andrew's eleven were over 40". I did manage to boat the biggest at 45 1/4" (to his 45") but my fish was not as pretty lol. I also managed a couple very nice pike on the trip, including tying my personal best at 41". Andrew - thanks again for everything. Here's the pics.
