First Trip : 1992

Missed 1993, Bob and some of the others got a wild hair to go someplace else. I was not into wild hairs at the time.

Boat Information : Boat Information: Damital VI was purchased used from the Cunnard Lines. It was formerly known as the QE1. Thankfully, I have heard that size does not matter.

Favorite Shirt : Baby Blue T-Shirt

First Trip Details : There had been several closed-door, smoke-filled, back-room, secretive discussions about this trip by a couple of my fishing buddies. Finally after openly asking about the trip, it was revealed that each year a troop of seasoned Canada fishing folks traveled North in piscatorial pursuit. After begging and pleading for a chance to accompany the group, I was asked to sign a pledge to snore loudly, drink heavily and fart profusely. With this completed, an invitation was proferred. Dennis Cox and I got in line and went North.

What an adventure this was! The red eye fishing was stupendous. Never had we caught such quality fish. The red eye fishing just got better and better. Unfortunately there were many trashy smallmouth that kept bothering us. It got so bad that we won the tournament that year on a trash fish.

Words of Wisdom : Red eye fishing is a challenging endeavor. You must be prepared for long days of angling with only limited results. There have been many days that we could only catch a zillion red eye. Don't be discouraged. Keep fishing. Don't be distracted by the trashy smallmouth. Sandy and I need your prayers. We have two sons who make this trip. They actually try to catch smallmouth bass. Their mother and I have tried to rear them to know and do better but alas we have failed. We hope that one day they will return to the ways of their heritage and again go in pursuit of the cagey red eye.
