Have a good time down there, and be safe, the water's still a tad chilly.

I'm still working on getting permission to buy a solo canoe, and when I do I'll be in on the next GTG.

Thought about joining Quetico, but I pinched a nerve in my upper back this week. It's not ready for paddlin yet. I tested it out by doing some mock paddlin with a paddle in the family room last night while watching the Wild, then the Mrs came down. She looked at me, shook her head, and went back up stairs.

Good luck fishing and post a little report on how things went.

LOL - those looks say athousand words. LOL

don't push it Duffman, the whole summer is ahead !!!

I'll let ya know how things go.

If anyone still needs an extra seat I'll bring out my canoe otherwise I'll have to catch up with people at the next one.

quetico - stay tuneed. Huey said he was coming, and doesn't really have his kayak rig for fishing, so he want to join ya. I've been waiting to hear from him.

[Huey]

I still plan on being there.

I better pass on the canoe. The last time I paddled a Penobscot I flipped it lake trout fishing opening weekend in the BWCA. Brrr!!! Sorry. I don't mean to throw a wrench in any one's plan, but I'd really like to stick with my kayak. When you see me you'll probably see I exceed the weight limit for one end of the canoe, especially when there's no duluth packs + gear to counterbalance me. Hopefully someone else will sign up.

Reelmin - I'll shoot you en email.

sounds good Huey !

quetico, you still in ? hope so, try to find a buddie or pick some up on the way

[Cyberfish]

I might make it. if you see a goofy lookin dude with a tiny red car and a tiny lime green sit on top kayak, that be me! where will you be fishin in case I am late?

[Quetico]

I'll catch up with you guys another time.

When it comes to rolling Penobscot's some people can really roll them easily. I've had to try hard to roll mine. But some friends of mine could keep a rental up right. I've put mine thru some crazy weather and completely unsafe conditions without rolling it. The only time actually rolled was when we put two adults standing gunwales rocking it.

We'll put in at Ft. Snelling, then head towards Ford [PoorWordUsage], probably hang around where Minnehaha creek comes in.

Here's some boring pics. Boring because there's no fish invoved. It was a great day though. Beautiful weather, fun to get back on the open water, and got to meet Reelemin and Cyberfish. They both know what there doing when it comes to kayak fishing. Thanks Reelemin for putting together this GTG. You saved me from a day of spring cleaning.
