I'll be there, either with my partner, or my own boat (like to get more boats out there), but I'll be there.

We plan on being there.

(like to get more boats out there)
So does that mean I should make Christine bring her canoe.

Been talking to Snuffy, We might try the trip. For our part looks like we will have to leave at 2:30am to get there in time. On a good note traffic should not be too bad at that hour. Will be a little different competing against Chezhead.

I might need one Judd. As soon as I posted that about the canoe the smack started.

Absolutely! But it might make for a miserable ride home for you.

I don't know. Itty bitty boats have an advantage up there.
At the spring shoot in June I was able to cruise right past (push-pole actually)a half dozen bigger boats who couldn't get in the shallows. They had to sit and watch while I cleaned up on a whole school of carp not more than 40 yards from where they would get stuck. The winners for most fish and biggest fish were 2 guys in a 10 foot jon boat.

Waders don't even help since the muck is over a foot thick -way too dangerous.

I'll probably be there in the Fall too, but I have no room for a partner. [>:]

Never take a sleeping-pill and a laxative on the same night.
Uhm... nevermind.

Actually I think it would be cool to have a bunch of us compete as individuals.

I'm game to go out in the canoe. (just don't laugh at me too loudly... you might spook the fish.)
