[cool][#0000ff]Yeah, we were disappointed that you weren't able to make it...but we didn't miss the wind (tee hee). I told FC that you probably had to do something productive for a change.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I was thinking of making a complaint to the rangers myself, but have not done so. Yesterday I came very close to getting physical when the folks in the small kayak just pushed through everybody and crashed into my rods and tubes in the process. But, with the mellowness of my advanced age...and tired legs...I refrained from "baptizing" them and their craft.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Y'know, what was almost worse was that I had to dodge a steady barrage of rocks being thrown out into the water by the kids as I came in. None of the adults made even the slighest effort to control the kids. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I think I may spend some more time at Willard for awhile. The baby shad are getting big enough that the wipers are easier targets for my "stuff". And, those wipers pull a lot harder than perch. At least at Willard the fish are used to the sound of high RPM motors. There will be nobody beating on the sides of canoes with oars to scare them.[/#0000ff]
