Moosebunk Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Takes some grit doods to jungle jump through swamp like that. A calculated risk that paid off nicely too. Sorry for th elate response but I was busy writing my own shhhtuff today. Good luck next week Bill if you're still headed out. Mike, we'll have to chat soon. Bill and Ted's (ahem Mike's) Excellent Adventures..... a major motion picture... whooda thunk it. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cudz Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 (edited) Gross! I mean that in the best possible way. I would carry the canoe, the supplies, and Mike to catch fish like that. I wouldn't carry you Bill. That would be taking it a step too far. Edited August 6, 2010 by Cudz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsTheBassMan Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Amazing Report!!!! You can't stress that enough - this is the exact type of trip that I would LOVE to start doing and am hoping to in the near future. You must feel like you're living on the edge of the world on a trip like that! Thanks for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robp Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 What a fantastic adventure and report. Great to see all that hard bushwhacking paid off with some real beauty walleys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 All your fishing tales are incredibly entertaining Mike, but I think this is your best story & pictures yet. As the old expression goes, I felt like I was actually along for the trip. Just REALLY good !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannyboy Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 You'd have had to carry me in and I wasn't prepared to throw that burden on you's. Fly ins might be (definitely) the better option, hopefully next year. Tell you what Chris, I'll carry you and your gear if you can wrangle me an invite Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiel Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Tell you what Chris, I'll carry you and your gear if you can wrangle me an invite Dan I'm sure I could swing the invite Dan but I'd like to wait till I'm able to carry my own weight. Hopefully next year will allow me the opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Bring some boats with some ankle support, that boggy deadfall is murder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pike n' whities Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Bring some boats with some ankle support, that boggy deadfall is murder. Not for a country man like me! I'm better than any wildlife for goin' through that stuff. lol. Last time I actually didnt tie my boots up 'cause I was feelin' bullet proof, so I ended up with a sprained ankle.

JimC Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Solo (Mike) thanks so much for the amazing report, and thanks to Bill for navigating you (both) through the wilds, safely, so you could write it. It really was (for me) like reading a novel you just can't put down, with the most outstanding pics to enhance the experience even more. As others have said ... 'you really made us (the reader) feel like we were there' ... but without the bee stings, and the crazy leg cramps. ;-) Well done, and I'm definitely looking forward to our (er...I mean, your) next adventure. take care. ...
