Subject: CANADA TRIP

Several notable items from this year's trip to Canada:

1. Joe wasn't ready when George and I arrived at his house Saturday morning.

2. Fan belt in George's jeep broke within 30 seconds of Joe's house. Waited 3 hours for it to get fixed at Firestone in Hazleton. In the end, didn't matter if Joe was ready on time.

3. Upon arrival at cabin, Joe is tasked with putting minnow bucket in water and proceeds to come back to cabin with empty minnow bucket. Why, you ask? Well, seems Joe forgot to secure lid on bucket and watched 4 dozen minnows swim away. Another trip for minnows necessary.

4. Within 10 minutes of fishing, I got a good strike and went to set hook. Small problem, the Ugly Stik rod I was using - made of a titanium shaft and marketed as unbreakable - snapped in half. Cost to replace next day, $68 Canadian.

5. Come across new location on lake known as 'Chick Island' which we fished around for about an hour. Aptly named for bevy of babes partying at house on island. Despite all of our top-of-the-line 'tackle' and 'equipment', no bites in the water or out. Assume that fish weren't biting because of weather and ladies were on a lesbian retreat and move to next spot.

6. Sunfish follies: George catches sunny 1/2 inch bigger than minnow he was using and we have pictures. I put down rod on side of boat while getting new minnow to put on hook. While doing this, George and Joe scream out that I am getting bite. Turn around, pick up rod, and pull in sunny that hooked itself on baitless hook.

7. I get lure stuck on lily pad. Joe steers us in to get it and goes a little too fast which resulted in him doing his best Tom Cruise balancing act from Mission Impossible to stay in the boat. In the process, kicks up a rod sitting in the boat and hooks himself near the back of his neck. Finally get situated and proceed to leave for another spot. I was standing up in back, not paying attention, and George starts going forward which nearly caused me to fall out back of boat. Fall down and land on one of George's plastic tackle cases - cracked it.

8. George loses last of three spit'n image lures and I sell him one for $10 out on the lake.

9. Kingfisher George can only sit in awe as I catch two 19-inch largemouth bass and a 33-inch pike within 2-hour span. Pike has been delivered to taxidermist by Joe.

10. Canada needs to ease up on one-case of beer rule upon entering. Had to buy two cases while in Canada.

11. To break up the fishing, took trip to Montreal to do some big game watching. Got lucky and were able to spot a herd of species locally known as 'siliconus maximus'.

Till next time.

Jeff
