These lures plus my Storm gold thunderstick were my best lures. |
- turning in my change helped finance the trip
- the year of my beard
- gym bag was better and lighter than suitcase with wheels and handle
- don't bring book, never read a page
- didn't need swivels, Adam thought he caught more with a direct tie, my finger nails get broken opening swivels
- we never found a pattern; lures that worked at the beginning of the week didn't work during the last two days; a front slowed fishing on Wednesday; walleyes were biting during windy day and stopped once the wind stopped
- good lures in small case in side pocket of fishing bag
- go smaller and shallower
- rain gear was perfect
- waterproof shoes were great
- need lures for shallow and medium depth
- Tommy had good luck with the shadow rap and husky jerk
- we should use Rapala floaters more
- my 19 inch bass is NOT on my camera; I hope Tommy has one on his; maybe it was 21 inches
- need toothpaste
- need four insect spray tubes, apply in cabin especially around the ankles
- set up blue tackle bag with four lure cases with a sample of lures, shallow, medium and deep, 2 frogs, two buzz baits, 2 tail dancers, 2 shad raps, two gold thundersticks, 2 square bills, 2 Mepps #4, 2 Lucky Craft blade cross small lures in red and silver, 2 lipless lures, 2 bleeding hot olive floaters, 2 spin gliders, 2 bull minnows, 2 shadow raps, 2 Storm thundersticks
- no more hats needed, no more tee shirts, no more pants
- need two more spinning rods and reels
- need hand towel
- need mono line on baitcasters, 10lbs
- baitcaster rods are telescoping. Not good. Need super glue.
- need sharp pointed scissors to get braided line off the baitcasters
- 8# line was very good
- none of the three of us took many pictures
- no sunsets
- we all took movies
- we have two new Frabil nets with floaters
- we have a device to accurately weigh the fish
- cast off pier, caught one fish first day, Tommy caught two
- boutique in Eagle River was good for souvenirs
- need red potatoes
- bowel movements good
- get to bed earlier I'm too old not to get 8 hours sleep
- back hurt - that is to be expected
- sponges were dirty
- need 3 pairs of sunglasses with magnifier from Bass Pro Shop
- didn't get rock, suggest getting rock from Morley
- meals: doughnut, later bacon and eggs, no lunch, supper and few snacks - didn't come home bloated
- cheesy potatoes were better the next day
- Adam wasn't pleased with the upkeep of the golf course and it had annoying flies.
- it would be nice to have plain hash browns for breakfast
- got two pair of shoes from Sports Authority
- snatch mates tee shirts was the topic de jure
- loved Moni's text messages, want more phone calls
- not having to shave was nice
- set up seat to cast from back platform
- keep covers on lures
- no men's magazine; left on Adam's kitchen table
- Adam's secret is out; the mostaccioli has a layer of American cheese in the middle which you never see
- we fished almost all the lakes,went to Octagon House, went to Little Africa and Record Lake, went to Weed Bay and Northern Bay
- fished Morley for first time
- musky were semi-active in Morley and Big
- need more scenic pictures
- large TV was great
- need heat downstairs
- every year we identify defecation point and the places Tommy dumped
- Wilderness Bay reported walleyes and musky were being caught
- couldn't fish last day due to incessant rain
- get our own subs
- visiting Mary, having dinner (not buffet) and fixing toilet seat was good
- Tommy said he would measure Mary for a bike
- keep only big net in back of boat
- fish liked red this year
- Portillo's hot dog, fries and tamale were great
- good McDonald's breakfast in Antioch on way to airport was great
- loved direct flight
- might need new ID for airport
- suggest BLT's for supper
- We watched the Blackhawks lose and win on their way to advancing to the Stanley cup which they won!
- red chair blew in water twice - no one admitted taking it and putting it on the pier
- excellent lunch at Culver's ( fish sandwich, fries and root beer)
- daredevil in red and white was working
- Dunkin' Doughnuts coffee was great
- didn't see stars
- got to visit with Pat and Lilly.
- Pat gave me a new old Animals' Crusaders tee shirt
- dinged prop in middle of channel
- didn't need green grapes
- didn't smoke cigars, save for next year
- contour wasn't working
- difficult getting the boat out of the water. Wind and waves wouldn't let the boat line up to be cranked up on the cradle. I had to walk up to my ankles in the water to crank and Tommy had to walk out on the trailer to push the boat to line up correctly.
- Tommy loaded Belling for me, listen to him a lot
- trailer tires were low when we got back to Casa Floore.
- got back from Chicago and was greeted by Moni and Lorenzo. We went out for Mexican.
- got to Moni's and saw Alfie and Dug. Happiness. Next year I'll see Lucky and in a new house.
