I got to the Lake around 5:30am Saturday 04/04/2009
The first person I seen was Mitz "The Magic Man" His famous words to me "You're late" I laughed and parked. I first call Rebecca(LadyFish) and Rodger(YamaFish) who I was meeting out there. I had an invite a few days ago to join them to a day of fishing on Rodger's boat. I get out and headed to the Bait Shop to register for the Sports Chalet Tourney. Not many peeps had signed up. It wasn't that many peeps in the parking lot either. I was in the 5th. line. Went back to the car. And who do I see next, Patrick!(TM65) Lighting up a cigarette. I place a call to him and said"Put the Cigarette down" He said who is this? I said Cindy. He asked me where was I? We met up and he took me over to YamaFish and LadyFish.
We headed out on their boat. We trolled just about all day. We finally hooked up on something nice,bendo. It was a damn duck! :ROFL: He got loose,we had a good laugh. It was a cool and foggy day out there,here's a few pics:

After hours of trolling all the parts of the lakes I finally got one:1.2 ozs.

The helicopter doing a practice run carrying water.

We stopped and did the bait and wait thing. No love. We did more trolling heading back to the boat dock ramp. Rodger said he was hungry. He had some hot links,chips and dip,donuts and drinks. Rodger grilled and the smell brought us company:We did invite 2quick, he said "no" at first until he smelled the links:

Patrick stopped by and we invited him to a link also. He had just eaten. He told me no fishing at the dock! " Not Cool Bro":ROFL: I like you anyway Patrick. More pics:Yamafish eating one of those delicious links:

Rodger and Rebecca hook-up the boat and we get ready for the Sports Chalet Tourney:

Despite not getting much fish, we had a ball.
We did see One_Leg in his Green Machine Rental, I did see Jimmy also.
Nice gifts form Sports Chalet, Thanks!
And most of all I would like to thank YamaFish and LadyFish for a great day out on the lake. Those two kept me laughing. They are a comedy duo. Thanks for the delicious food also. We must do it again real soon. Rodger stay away from the ducks...:ROFL::ROFL::ROFL: Thanks again Guys. Cindy:Razz: If I forgot someone I seen and didn't mention you,sorry.

Cindy--LF and I had a great time fishing with you on Saturday. Wish I could have put you on more fish! It was just a slow weekend. You are right the few fish that we metered were holding at the bottom quarter of the water column. We had the best of times despite the lack of fish.
Grilling up the dogs boatside was a lot of fun. The smell and the smoke even drew 2quick over to our lakeside diner! :Big Grin: We will all have to get together and go out again! When it gets warmer we will go after the kitties.

LF-- Best of times fishing with you as always. Thank you for your help and support of me this weekend. I wish we could have gotten on more fish Saturday and Sunday! We will go again soon my fishing partner in crime.

Mondo-- Good times on Saturday. After witnessing 2 DQs over 2 days maybe I should have kept my duck to take to weigh in! :LOL: For reals-the duck was not harmed in this fishing adventure.

Roost-- My good friend of the 3 Amigos, it was a slow day on Sunday but it doesn't matter because I had so much fun and laughed so hard my stomach hurt. Best of times as always!

MobileReef-- LF and I enjoyed meeting you, thanks again for offering the food at the campsite. Good luck next weekend.

TD-- Congrats on Qualifying for the Masters!! Good Luck next week!! It was great to see you again and catch up at the campsite!

Sport Chalet-- Thanks need to be put out to these people. They hosted an amazing raffle during Saturday's Tourney! I think everyone that entered and stayed for the raffle walked away with a prize. This was truly First Class of them!

Last but truly not least--MANY MANY THANKS to Lake Irvine Pro Team!!

Marlon-- Thanks for showcasing our Rodhogg Rodholders during the Kids Seminar. Rodhogg would not be the success it is today without your team's endorsements! You guys are true ambassadors to the sport. Ladyfish and I will see you out there soon my friend. We are going Crappie fishing with you!!

Great Report Cindy! So glad you joined Yamafish and I on the boat. It was a blast fishing with you!!

http://i452.photobucket.com/albums/qq247/ladyfish_photos/DSCN2645.jpg Yama's ride

http://i452.photobucket.com/albums/qq247/ladyfish_photos/DSCN2623.jpg The question of the Day--Where are all the fish??

Unfortunately, we were not finding any fish on our poles or on the meter. Despite that we had so much fun together! I hope that you join us again on the boat Cindy!!

http://i452.photobucket.com/albums/qq247/ladyfish_photos/DSCN2620.jpg Yama's hook-up looked promising only to discover it was a duck!

http://i452.photobucket.com/albums/qq247/ladyfish_photos/DSCN2652.jpg As you can see Mr. and Mrs. Mallard are fine and swimming around laughing at us all! (Yama did not harm the duck!)

When we finally decided to give up looking for the fish, Yama as usual pulled out his grill. We invited 2quickmotorworks to join us for a dog, but he said no, he was fine. Then when the aroma of the cooking hotdogs reached him we were happy to see he changed his mind! Patrick, you don't know what you turned down! Not cool Bro!!

It was also a weekend of several DQ's again. Unfortunately, a FNN member was DQ'd on Saturday, there was a lot of drama. :Crying: It is really sad people feel the need to cheat on something that is supposed to be fun.

We may not have placed in the Tourney, but we scored in the raffle! Thank you again Cindy for the pretty purple hat!! I love it!

We had a great time talking to the Lake Irvine Pro Team after the raffle. Marlon--you are the man! Thank you so much to you and your team for promoting the Rodhogg at your kid's seminar! Very cool of you! Loved talking to all of you.

We did have fun watching the helicopters practice their water drops.
http://i452.photobucket.com/albums/qq247/ladyfish_photos/DSCN2656.jpg Look Cindy--not an ant! :)

Mobilereef--It was really nice to meet you, thank you for inviting us over to eat with you!

TD-- So cool to get a chance to talk to you and hang out with you at the campsite. Very happy that you qualified for the Master's--I wish you the best of luck next weekend!

We saw so many people we knew and some we only just met, it was nice to talk to all of you and to put faces to the screennames.

Roost--Great to fish with you again on Sunday! It had been a long time. I always have a blast with you! Thank you for making me laugh the whole day!
You made not catching anything fun!

Yama and I signed up for the W.O.N SCTO event today. We will try again off Yama's boat.

I think Irvine needs to invest in EXTRA and MORE (Larger,Quality) FISH!!!:EyePop:
We all can't be terrible fisherman. Too many peeps getting skunked.:Sad: Are you listening Irvine??? Higher ups Peeps,President,and CEO's. Cindy:Razz:
