Hey Western...Alas, now that the Thunderstorms have subsided for a few minutes!....here is the info for the Fish-In at Lake Washington on July 12th.
Saturday July 12th, Meet at Dennys at N/E 44th and 405 at 5AM for breakfast and to talk some fishin.....then meet at 6:30 at the East Mercer Launch under I-90 to pair up and get going........now the Bummer part.....
Some of you know that, for the last year or so I have been talking about some issues with my Right Eye, well....after finally getting into the Doc. for an eval it was discovered that I have a nasty little Cataract and also the possible start of Glaucoma.....too much bright sunshine and too much weight for too long I suppose but none the less I will undergo Eye Surgery on the 10th to remove the Cataract and then further evaluate what course of action for the Glaucoma yet returning me to 20/30 vision on the right.
Jose will be your Guide for this event and I know that you all will assist by committee to make this a wonderful time on the water and I will return for the August Fish-In and also the Tri-Cities Tournament.
Will keep the updates coming and make sure alot of pictures get taken so we can post them up.......O.K.......let the jokes begin.......

"No Mom...I'm not going blind because of THAT!"
Hey John, I need your BassTender for a "Seeing Eye Boat" for my ProCraft!
No!.....Owning a ProCraft does not cause cataracts!


On a serious note....take the time to get an eye exam as early Detection is the key to reducing Occular Pressure thustly reducing the chances of Cataracts and Glaucoma.....Sunglasses are not enough!

All the best for a quick recovery Larry....... I've been told to get another eye check in three months as my pressure is "borderline".

Cataracts!! No my friend it sounds like fecalmyopia

Definition:
Fecalmyopia (from Greek: μυωπία ) When ones eye mussel tissue becomes crossed with ones anal mussel therefore giving one a crappy out look.

Totally forgot !!!!  I was on sawyer, saw another club member out there. 

So how did it go? I would have loved to be there but I was pre-fishing Silver for aba next weekend.

I was there with a guest, I saw Rodney and Phil Hudgens with Jose. So three boats and 5 people! Rodney appeared to have big fish, looked about 2 lbs. Dave and I spent most of the time investigating water from Ballard through to Gasworks Park, caught a couple of Perch, couple of 1 lb Smallies and a Rock Bass, also a 2 lb Squawfish right at the Mercer Bridge at lunchtime. Not enough people to make the BBQ worthwhile.
