St. Mary's Lake
« on: May 16, 2004, 11:26:07 PM »
Sam - you were right - Cabana #6 was excellent!

We fished evening and mornings, and one afternoon, with the inflatable.  

I caught 4 bass and one perch in the time we were there, the largest bass probably being about 2 lbs.  Most were from the dock!  Using worms.  Hard to describe how good a time it was.  Here's a little (1lb'er - I think) one from the boat:



The weekend's snaps will be online soon, but only the one fish pic.  We even saw some orca's on the way over on the ferrry. There are some BEAUTIFUL scenery shots  - sorry haven't had time to retouch much.

Cheers!

Glad you had a great time there. I may just head over during my vacation in September.

Can't wait for the pics...AND why can't you show ALL of them??? :o

That's all I have for fish pics, since Irene was sleeping yesterday a.m. while I caught the ones off the dock :)  Soon for the pics...having some hosting problems.

OK the whole slide show of the trip.

You've got to remember - I just got the new truck, so it features fairly prominently in the pics :)

So uh.... I only saw one fish, and a lot of beer...



Somebody else was still sleeping when I caught the bigger one...Heck, the first one that morning, I had to run back to the cabin, and get the pliers to remove the hook, while the little guy swam around waiting (somewhat impatiently) :D

The beer - essential ingredient with any good meal :D

Thanks, I stole a javascript tool that did the slide show with fixed filenames, and wrote some code to fill it dynamically, so I can just throw pics into a directory, and with a config file, she's up and going.  No fuss, no muss :)

It looks you guys had a load of fun.

Where did you buy the boat? I myself wouldn't mind to get something like that. How much does it go for?
I would appreciate if you could help me with this.

Costco - $129

Watch out for wind.  It's like being a cork on the water :(

Row, row, row, row.  Cast.  Drift drift drift. Weeds.
Rinse, lather, repeat :)
Good for the arms.

Retention is allowed after June 15th. That's why we are all going two weeks after that right? :)

Did you get a chance to see the big bass that comes up once awhile by the floating dock to show off? :o Last year we had our feet dipped in the water while fishing on the dock. At one point we brought in a small perch and two feet away from where we were sitting, this huge bass came up and tried to swallow the perch on my line. :o

I think I caught him.  He was big!  No scale or pics :(  Just BIG.  Quite a few arials!  Bass are fun for that!

I'm still trying to determine if I can go in June. Not sure yet.  Mark has to get better boats.  The canoe that we tried using had a slow leak  :o
