Bitsmith2k Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 just wanted to take a minute to post something other than a fish filled thread, or a bashing of merlands.. i was a little apprehensive about heading out for a weekend without knowing anyone and without knowing if i'd get on a boat to fish saturday.. well the apprehenion was for nothing.. everyone treated me like they'd known me forever.. truly a classy bunch.. i gotta thank gerritt who went out of his way to sort me out a spot on a boat for the weekend.. and with that gotta thank Ted.. you're an awesome guy for taking me out.. it was a pleasure to fish with you, and cliff on sat... and saving me and cranksbait from getting soaked in his boat on sunday.. i wont forget it.. now for the apology.. when i got home, started unpacking my kit.. i noticed something stinking in my tackle bag.. cracked it open and found the culprit.. which i will also use as a scapegoat for the boat getting skunked for two days.. inside my plastic lunch bag was none other than a banana, packed by my wife.. so we can all blame the skunking on me.. or better yet, my wife.. despite the skunking i had a great time, and wont hesitate to get to future gtg's.. i'm just going to have to make sure the washrooms are CLEARLY marked to avoid any close calls.. corey almost got an early morning shower on sunday. hah.. mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbayboy Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Mental note: don't be near Mike at the next GTG. At least not until I've gotten all the beer from him first .

BFSC Kevin Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Hey Mike! Sorry didn't get to talk to you much or even at all! You had one hell of a entrance, come driving up to the bonfire and everyone just staring at the car and this massive tall guy comes walking out saying, "I'm Bitsmith", the group's response , and then you say, "the beer guy!" .. thats when everyone was ... haha.. good times! kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranks bait Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Hey Mike, I thought you were an old dog here. I too was apprehensive about going. Glad I did. It was great to meet you. Thanks for finding me a spot on the floor and recommending Ted to fish with. I don't think he knows how much we both appriciated being on his dry yacht compared to what my very wet ride would have given us. As for the banana....

Corey Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Mike, it was good meeting you, but you can share your bodily fluids with Gerr next time... we'll get out for some eyes in Dunnville or something this year. I'm glad you got over your apprehension. We've got a pretty good group going on and we all seem to have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zib Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 It’s not the banana’s fault. This year was the first time that I have ever heard of fisherman being superstitious of banana’s on their boat. I’ve taken plenty of bananas for lunch on my boat & I never got skunked when I did.
