Dude! You broke free! Crossed the line.
Welcome aboard. I just had a feeling it had to be you there, so on my return trip - had to stop and say hi (hope you didn't think I was scoping out your gear!). Sadly, it cost me my chance to get BACK on the water with the boy- as we'd planned. He was really hankering to stick a carp (note first picture), and I thought for sure I'd nab a channel if I hit my money spot (or small change spot - who knows).
I'll say again - I'm still impressed at how much getting around you do via canoe. (not to mention some wicked fish catching!)
Jeff - maybe we shoulda headed out in front if you were "moving" the carp as we moved down river. He had some good chances once we got onto Cutler. That stamped STILL has me laughing.
It had been a long day, and can't say I blame him. Had our ups and downs. ( I need more patience! even if that's always my "lesson" to him - when it comes to fishing)
So as far as the score-keeping goes - was Lava the only skunkster of that day? (sorry to OUT you boy! Get me back with our summer "wager"!)
Ron- you saying there's another launch up by Amalga? I haven't seen that. Heard there was one across the border, and then another down by Corinne, but I'd really appreciate knowing any others. I've gotta spend more time on that water. There's sure a lot to explore.
One of those first log jams we anchored up at - we thought we saw carp in the piled up goo, but realized they were birds. Think on might have been a turkey even. Shoulda grabbed some feathers to make bobbers out of!
Again - loved the trip, look forward to trying it again.
Jeff- my son has his heart set on camping Willard this Friday, so I'm taking the day off, and we'll be down there for sure. If I can get my ducks in a row - maybe I'll even be able to bring the "new" boat.
