[cool][#0000ff]Hey Geoff, sorry we all bugged out on ya Saturday. Everyone was already "over-funned" and overfed after the meal was over. Most folks had other things to attend to in the late afternoon or evening and TubeBabe and I weren't too motivated to go back out and contest our right to be there with all of the PWC that had taken a liking to our fishing area.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Sorry too that you forgot your fins. Maybe someday you will listen to me and make a checklist to review before each trip. Us old guys HAVE to do that, but even younger fellers can benefit from having reminders. Actually, if you go fishing more often, some of that checklist becomes automatic and you have less chance of leaving something important behind. I recommend that you go fishing more. Tell your wife I said so.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Even before a winter trip to Pelican, we have to maybe do a perch trip to Jordanelle...followed by a cookemup. Then, there is the big trout finale on Yuba in the late fall...with maybe a pike or two. We could also have a fish cookery after that. Maybe some grilled trout.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]There's always the fall fishing at Strawberry too. Used to make up a bunch of pigout perch chowder in advance and heat it up after a nippy fall fishing session on Da Berry. Really takes the chill off.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Of course, if you really get to hankerin' for some 'gills and bass, we could always hit Mantua on short notice. Costs a lot less for gas than a trip to Pelican.[/#0000ff]
