Perch Trip

[walleyechick]

Just wanted to make my first post a good one I guess and to thank everyone for the great time fishing this weekend. It was great meeting everyone!

A special thanks to Matt, Chris and Josh for the tow to and from the lake on Friday, that was a life saver! And also to Greg, Brandon and Gus for the tips on the "hot spots"!

Finally 15 minutes before we had to pack up and hit the road home, Travis caught his first perch of the weekend! It wasn't the biggest one of the weekend, but he was excited.

Thank you Gus and Nettie at Maple Ridge Resort for the great accomadations. Great place to stay! Look forward to do it again.

Also, Brian, next time I will make sure I pack you a sippy cup! lol

Nice Perchy there WalleyeChick!

The big question though is did you outfish your partner?

[walleyechick]

Yes I did outfish him, but that happens quite a bit!

Walleyechick, you need a new name, that's no walleye (though it's bigger than the last batch of 'eyes I caught down at Pool 4)...

It was nice to meet you three. I knew Travis would get one, he just need time. He is a great kid. He was eager to learn things. You guys sure headed out to the lake early yesterday morning, I set the alarm clock to the wrong time zone so we got a late start. It was a blast out there, I know I will be back.

It was nice to meet you as well.

Matt commented on how nice it was to have a family along.

I was glad to hear Travis got a perch he sure was a tropper.

Hey Ken can you help me with my sleeping bag zipper?

It was nice to meet you all and lets do it again next year.

It was great to meet you all. I hear someone got a monster on Sunday? Any truth to that? I'll put a pic of my biggest I got on Sat. and hope someone can top it!! I ended up w/16 total for Fri/Sat. I hope you all had a good time and look forward to seeing you again. She was just shy of a 2 pounder.

Hawkeye, you may have got a late start, but I heard you did well.... what did you all end up with yesterday am?

walleyechick, We did what we told to do, SPREAD OUT and no leaving the fish houses. Jim the one that got the 1#8 on Saturday, He texted me sunday that he had a 2#, it made the one on sat look small, without see it I told Greg that. As it turned out it was 1#12, 14". Still nice, but not a 2. I get 7, not too far from where you guys were at. We had 13 for the day. The fish at least started to show up on Sunday. The boys with me are pumped about the whole thing and are planning another trip aready without me. I know it was a tough bite, but pleased with what we got.

It was great to meet everyone and see there are other people out there just as crazy about perch. Nice to talk with everyone and might get a few names wrong as I am bad with remembering names.

I hope the pay is good though. I saw a pic. of your son with his fish. That smile said everything, Congratulation Travis, See you next year, right???
