Well we (Rich L., Faz, Team Ranger (Glenn & Kari), Virgil Bill B., Mark M., Larry S. and Sherry and Myself) meet at Lil Jon's resturant in Factoria and had breakfast. At around 7:30 we met at the Mercer Is. Launch. The weather was calm and cool but at that point it was dry. we met Chuck B. (The Rev) on the water and headed out till noonish. Most of us got skunked, except for a couple of us.  Mark M. took big fish and the Rev came in 2nd place for big fish. Larry G., Smitty and Virgil made a guest appearance for the potluck which went well, but people wern't expecting the turn out that we had and we ended up short of food.

All in All I think everyone got cold but had fun and enjoyed the fellowship,

Thank you all for your donations, which put me that much closer to paying off the new BBQ

Just so you guys know, the fishing got better after you most of you left!  Before lunch I had picked those 3 small fish (up to 2#8oz), none of which could help me with the big fish kitty!  No sooner had I got back on the water than I hit a 3#2, and 3#14, and a beautiful 5#2oz - all within an hour.  Then the rain came!!! And came!!! And Came!!!  So I went home drowned but happy!  

Darn, Darn, Darn,  now the Nimitz has singing and dancing to go with the tv and microwave.  I NEED A BIGGER BOAT!!!
