Going through some last minute prep work after my umpire class, a few things here in the a.m. and then I'm off.

Jay - No one is getting sick on this trip.

[CNY Lee]

Everyone is here but Steve and Bud, they should be arriving today.

Frank, Tim and myself got out yesterday for the late afternoon search. Few fish to be caught but we are on the move today. Timmy's with Tyler until Steve and bud get here.

I'll keep you guys updated when we get back to the Hotel.

Oh yea, keep your trap closed because everyone is watching.. I learned that yesterday.... LOL

[Thunderman]

[augustwest]

All is good in the Hood...we are covering a lot of ice and drilling a lot of holes

The pressure system, since I have been here is a BUST...Sunny Day Blues. With no Blues('gils)

Timmy and I are on foot tomorrow for the Tourney...Maki let us use his Quad today to go and explore...we stayed inside "Our" boundries of walkers and were HUMBLED!!!

Tomorrow is the Big day and it's anyones game at this point...there were a few Team of the Year candidates C@ck Blocking their spots, so the Game is on tomorrow as long as it's 10 feet...RIGHT

Talk to you guys soon!

[CNY Tim]

Doug stepping in for Steve was awesome. Steve has a lot sheut going on with the beloved Corp. and hopefully he will be back fishing soon. I can't thank our Chef enough for manning up in short notice. Itell ya it brought a tear in my eye.

I want to thank Stev for covering our room and breakfasts for the trip he didn't have to but Doug and I appreciate it

[USMC130FE]

Best of luck to all of you. I sure do wish I was there. This investigation is going to be a mega size pain in the arse. I'm trying to recover 6 months of deleted emails and other correspondences to prove my compliance to procedures and reg's. This whole thing blow's!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for filling in Chef, and the room was the least I could do!

Again be safe good luck, and have fun!

Steve

[CNY Tim]

Timmie and Chef broke into the bar starting at 10 . . .the rest off joined them prefishing and waited for Tyler and Bud for two hours before we got serious into the local brew . . .we did eventually go back on the ice and checked out the new extended boundaries with almost the same results. We are meeting at Dennies for brekfast at 5 and then to the ice . . .where we already know everybody will not fit in the parking area . . .oh joy at 6 AM

[CNY Tim]

I will say this there is nothing like fishing these tournaments with such good friends PERIOD!

Maki - Thanks for the use of the ATV Saturday morning and on tournament Sunday, sorry we finished ahead of you but your plastics put us in position to do so. I can't thank you and Mark enough. The presentations that Scott does are fantastic the romm was flowing info back and forth and we all came away with a little something to help us. Great job Scott and a bang up job as well at the kid's clinic..

Augustwest - Like I said before I am thankful to you for making the trip on short notice, we had a great time and as always it was great fishing with you. Good times on and off the ice Bro...

Frank and Lee - Thanks for putting me up Thursday night and Lee man do you snore. Congratulations on your finish you guys did your homework and it paid off. Frank I think Lee is going to be doing these tourneys from now on. I forgot to ask you what you guys got for prizes for your finish?

Jim and Kyle - Fass thanks for the chili it made that reheated burrito hit the garbage can quick. Kyle and you did awesome for the first time pairing up, you make a great team. Congrats on your finish as well. It was nice meeting your Mom and Dad Kyle...

ReelEmIn - Kevin and his brother Charlie helped us coming up with a strategy that had us on fish on our 2nd stop. You didn't have to help us. I'll never forget that late night cram session. See you on Darago in a couple weeks...

To all the guys NAIFC trail i was great seeing evertone again and Bomoseen has one fine fishery. NAIFC TV came buy and interviewed me while we were fishing. I'll never see it but it was cool. How can you not enjoy being on the ice at such a beautiful venue.

Tyler and Bud - It was great seeing you guys again and I am glad Bud shook off that bug and made the trip. Tyler and I had a blast pre-fishing together and acy=tually caught some fish by the launch

Congrats to Ziggy and Jacek on another podium. It was great having dinner and BSing with Team Poland on Friday night. Did anyone do the Karaoke?

Were all exhausted and tired from the trip but I can tell you that fishing with the best friends a guy could ever have is why we do this and why we live for it...

Here's to everyone making it back safe cause some are still driving.

One more thing before I forget... Who's the one-who-thinks-I-am-silly that put 50 hot sauce packets underneath my sheets

[CNYFrank]

I don't put small perch in people's bucket or Taco Bell hot sauce packets in other people's bed . . . but now that there is funny . . .

[CNYFrank]

BTW, ditto on Tim's comments above concerning the tournament. The days went by fast and Sunday even faster. Excellant fishing with Lee and we matched up pretty good just like a team should . . he even let me put some fish in the bucket!! LOL

[CNY Tim]

Frank your job is to count and cull, let Lee take care of the fish

[Thunderman]

Frank, what kind of prize did you guys get I know what Timmy got HOT SAUCE

[CNY Tim]

Todd - They got some Jason Mitchell rods and I think Kyle and Jimmy got jig packs...

[salmonseeker2]

Franky... Thanks for learning to count this year!! would have been better 2 years ago!! Jk!!

Kyle.. my Platonic partner!! thanks for catching Perch.. without those we'd be hurting!! And your parents for letting me crash there and picking up dinner yesterday and that very impressive restaurant!!

To the winners Ziggy and Jacek, Congrats!!!! they had those fish all figured out!!

it was nice to talk with them and have a little dinner and drinks after the rules meeting.

Shawn hayes.. good tourny...

[CNY Tim]

No problem on the auger guys. Was talking to Lee last night on his way back from Frankies he was commenting on how fast you ripped your holes tourney day. I just wish they made that same auger without all the plastic pieces. Here here Shawn Hayes put together a great tourney, and the Lakeview scenery,eye candy and calamari were excellent. We got a little amped up for Soduko for Seniors didn't we AW Vermont has some fine ales..

[CNY Lee]

I'm here and alive, just trying to work and tired as H E L L. Had to satisify the home front when I got home and didn't end up going to sleep until much later. (You know what I mean... LOL).

[CNY Tim]

Everybody is tired and I think Kyle was not feeling well Saturday night. Did anyone use the porto at the launch? Somebody must have died in there the morning of the event.
