Ralph et. al.,
What a great day on the Big Blue Pond. I want to thank everyone for the friendship, fun, and of course the food. The chili was awesome and the peppers were too. Not to mention Ralph's beans. (Hey!--how about PM'ing the recipe? I bragged about it to my wife and she thought it sounded great and wants to try it) The whitefish are definitely not in yet but there are some cutts hanging around the outside of the marina. I talked to my friend who was bank-tangling from shore on Sat. morning after we all departed and he caught two 18-20" cutts casting spoons from shore. I should of hit the new rockpiles just north of the marina but I didn't and went home to watch Michigan lose a heartbreaker to Ohio State. Excuse me while I'm in mourning. Hopefully there will be a rematch for the national champion in the BCS. Anyway, a great day. Thanks also goes out to "the angler" for the prizes which made having a drawing out on the lake all that much more fun. Passing out prizes to other boats with my landing net was a hoot. For those who missed out you should plan on this outing for next year. I'm still wondering what all the people who have homes/cabins on Sweetwater Hill were thinking when they looked out on the "rockpile" and saw about 8 boats all tied up together when we were having lunch. "Did they find another body?" or maybe "we should call the sheriff to find out what's going on out on the lake". LOL
