you caught me Randy...lol.... I would skip it but I make 9 and it's the first game of the season...lol....
 
Mika....will do... anytime you're coming up to Erie, send me a PM

I should still be there.  I'll have at least one, maybe two guests (perhaps even three, but I'm not holding my breath that our teenage son will bestow us the privilege of his presence).  I make some mac n cheese in the AM so it's still fresh and somewhat warm at 1:00 then fish after dining.  Do people prefer sharp or mild Cheddar?  Unless there's a group preference, I'll err on the side of mild.

A word of warning:  There is a super trooper running around the lake ,
giving tickets for excessive wake, speeding under bridges, and drinking.
This guy looks like a wet.... that got his papers in the mail.
He,ll talk nice to ya one minute then write you up the next.



The weather sounds perfect!
The fish should be on the bite.

Ya. I realize it was a bad weekend but hard to satisfy everyone.
May shoot for Oct. outing. Last year it was just too hot and the bite was slow.

Now this young lassie really enjoyed the cupcakes. lol


Mat did a good job of cooking the burgers.


blance telling his secret spots.



They were sure glad to see us leave so they could eat.



The evening was like glass and for a fish for free day and holiday ,
it was like being there in the middle of the week.
Even when we were stopped for speeding in a no wake zone the officer
was amazed at how slow the day was. I,m sure he was disappointed he
didn,t bust many people.lol
I really want to thank those that helped make this a great day!
I met some new and really great people.
Jerry , I don,t know how you can throw a spin rod like a fly rod.lol
Gizmo, ol leaky got us back!  Had fun pal!
Tex, enjoyed your company, along with the young uns. Your daughter
will take after dad.lol
Mat , thanks for the buck. He-He. O and being the chief.
Berry, we,ll have to hit the lake again sometime. The k-r-a-f-t was great.lol
Bill , was a pleasure to meet you and have fun in Erie this year.
Until next year. John

It was at 1100pm. I knew the young hero from when he was a little kid.
He coached at Reynolds H.S. I wired his house for his phones.
Still can,t figure why he was smelling that baggy.lol

Lol. I,m sure he would also have mentioned that we were the last boat on the lake. No one else to pick on.

mika, thanks again for putting this together. very fun with good people. how many crappie did you end up taking home?

next time i'm coming into a no-wake zone i'm shutting off the **** motor and paddling through. remember to also buckle your pfd's, having them zipped up doesnt cut it.

Glad to hear you guys had a great time. Hope to make the fall get together. See you on the lake.

thanks mika for organizing and glad to see the few people that showed up. had a good time and thanks to gizmos for letting me come along and fish off 'ol leaky!!
i'm posting the story 'Ol Leaky'  in the general pa. forum as always.  ~dt

Dream Catcher, you beat me to it! I was gonna bust his chops for using a spinning rod too. We gotta get Jerry to Moraine to hook into a couple Stripers.

take a look at jerry's spinning reel.  it is spooled with wf4f.
