As a result of the previous nights draw Gene,
Pat & Rich were together in Gene's boat, while Vic, Greg
& Brad had Pat's boat (Vic mentioned he was glad to be with
the better two Dagenhardts). Tim, Matt & George
teamed up in George's boat. Off we all went in great
anticipation of a great days fishing. After a slow morning fishing we met on the usual piece of beach for a shore lunch of fresh jack, ably prepared by Brad over an open fire. While chowing down, we spent an hour or so fishing from shore and just generally hanging out. Once we all got mobile again, we agreed to meet at Don's Hole, and had a moment of silence in Don's honor. The action was not great; Vic figured Don pretty much had fished it out! Later that day Vic, Greg and Brad spotted two caribou, and watched as they swam from one point to another. They said it was amazing how effortlessly they took to the water. We enjoyed a supper of burgers and fish that night. Although it turned out to be a slow fishing day, it was still 100% better than a good day at work! As a matter of interest, Tim was given the distinguished nickname Sir Schitz-A-Lot. We figured he mistakenly took Ex-Lax instead of Imodium that morning as he had a moving experience at every pee break that day.  Vic announced
he won his boat's pool for first fish that day and pocketed a
cool $2. Then he proceeded to regularly win for the rest of the
week! We finally figured out by the end of the trip that he had
used the same fish every day. Our evidence was how it smelled
after five days in his pocket. Vic kept close tabs
on payments. By the end of the week only Matt hadn't paid, but
Vic figured he wasn't worth a dollar anyway. |
