He'll make me blade bait all day. No one else wants to do that I'm sure...
Boater - Non-boater match updated.
LOL at Dan.... Leave your tackle at home. I have enough stuff for the whole bunch. LOL
In fact, I made some extra blade baits for guys asking for them... I didn't want us to run short. 8-)
Ha... I'll try to pair it down... but I get bored easy. I keep saying that as my excuse. I'm lonely without my tackle. I miss it if I don't bring it with me... my doctor prescribed... take two tackles, can call me in the morning. But I will borrow your blade baits if they're eating them again!!! ;D

I'd be interested Mike !! Been throwing blades a lot this spring.
Blades don't work on St Clair. That is a rumor started by the fish. Frogs are what you want to be throwing out there. :)
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! :o
Got new jumper cables Slipkey?
No fires this year. Deal?
Had a boater have to cancel, but had a new boater come on so all I did is swap out the non-boater partner. Updated the draw in post 1. That's the latest I have. It's probably too much to ask for no more changes now so we are all set for Saturday?? ;D
PS: I'm going fishing tomorrow so if anyone posts I won't see it until in the evening sometime.
The weather forecast has me a little nervous as of today. I'm hoping for a change.

It will change again. Odds are we will be done before the evening weather gets here.

I'm the only bad luck he needs this year.

I'd love to make good on that deal Waterfoul, but it looks like I'm going to have to back out at the last minute on Madwags.
A client asked me to help out with one of their projects that's due for a release on Monday. It's running behind and it looks like I'm going to be working through the weekend, now. :(
I'm really sorry to throw a curveball to all of you on the draw for this weekend. One of the downsides of being your own boss is that sometimes you have to take what comes your way, when it comes your way.
You can put Ypsibass back in my boat. Unless something else comes up.
Will do. I need one more extra non-boater ride now because of the 2 boaters who bailed... (no pun intended! Okay... maybe a little pun.)
Redid the draw after losing 2 boaters last minute. I am looking for one more boater. Jefferson, please show up. You will get in a boat one way or another. I promise. I still have messages out to a few people to confirm who is coming for sure or not.
Chance of scattered storms in the morning. We won't launch if there's a storm there at the time of launch. Otherwise I will trust all of you to be safe and make good decisions on when to come to shore or not, if it becomes necessary due to weather.
Bring your rain suits and life jackets please. Don't forget. They ward off rain.
Okay. Everyone has a boat now. We have a little less room but enough so if everyone is kind enough to show up tomorrow morning we should be all set. We'll look at the weather live at the boat ramp. We might be fine like we have been in other years when bad weather was possible but didn't really hit. Cross your fingers for that please. And thank you.

Ya know... I tried that, and I cannot do it...
Lost 1 more boat for tomorrow. Working on a solution but won't know until morning if I have one or not because I'm heading to bed very soon! See you in the morning!
I'll be hitting the road around 4:45a and heading south to St Clair.
DK - Bob and I picked up Jack as he lost Rick .... So we know we got 3 now.. Jack - its a long ride down to GPYC in the middle lol ::)
