Thursday provided a strong start to this years event as the walleye started hitting strong right away. Our friendly operators at South South Shore Ice Condos warned us that they would not drill holes in the cabin this weekend as there was not enough ice to handle it but they would drill as many outside as requested. Bite was early and often for those who chose to wet a line (Rookies). Day quickly took a turn for the worst as Team Outdoor Guys due to arrive on Friday pulled the chute with the news of the lack of indoor holes. X9 recognizing the lameness of the excuse quickly restored our faith in real men by messaging that he would be arriving Friday deciding to make the road trip himself.
Total for the day with only two guys putting any effort into fishing was 7 walleye, 1 bottle of Captain Morgans Spiced Rum, 1 bottle of Bombay Saphire Gin, a flat of Caesars, and more beers than we can count. Dinner was typical gourmet and conversation centered on solving the worlds problems, again.
Day two opened with Walleye biting again, Bradley gourmeting breakfast and the anticipation of the 2013 Lake Nipissing Ice Bocci Championships! A disappointing effort from Team Rookie proved that they are truly victims of their own mediocrity as they put up little resistance to the extreme domination shown by Team Orange Suit! The arrival of Uncle X9 and an entertaining social visit from our host Garnet led to an outstanding display of compassion by rookie GayJay McKenzie for his fellow rookie (Willie) by ensuring he not only had a bucket in his top bunk to purge his dinner and refreshments but also removed it from the hut and cleaned the bucket. Hairboy being the veteran he is removed himself from the cabin before decorating the ice with a similar display.
Not sure what day 3 will bring but anticipation is high! TV is ready for the NFL WildCard games!
