Nice report Pat and sounds like a good trip, except for the weather. In your reply about our recent out to UL you said:

"I also hope you realize I forcibly restrained myself from snarking about what I would be doing differently if I was in my float tube." 

I'm glad you were able to just relax and be yourself on this trip 

BTW, I saw this lure ad this morning and it looks almost identical to one you painted and sold to me a while back. I hope you are getting royalties on it LOL.

Nope.  No royalties.  Just the warm fuzzy glow I get from having others appreciate some of the new lure designs and color combos I come up with.  There have been quite a few that are now in production by commercial lure makers...with no recognition or royalties.

I originated that "pale perch" color back in the early 2000's...for fishing Starvation at first...and then almost all waters.  I have since "upgraded" it to a "chartreuse perch"...with a narrow chartreuse band running lengthwise just under the bright green back.  It has proven to be even more effective than the original in many situations.
