Well now, you can't say I didn't do my part. So the morning of the 22nd rolls around. knowing Mt will be here promptly at 4:30, worse case scenario, I decide to get up at 3:30. At 3:45 I'm outside in the truck, sitting, and waiting, waiting and more waiting. It's now 4:45 decide I'll call him on his cell phone....Grrrr
His cell phone goes directly to messaging. 
... So my next step is to call him at the house..Problem, how do you spell his bloody last name..Whissell, Wiswell, Whisell....well the kind Operator I had, looked through all, no such beasts in Rockland as the Wiswell's (turns out I had the name right at one point). now what 
Ah, a brain storm, I'll call Markus who's on the road by now, surely he has the MT's number.......I get Markus' message machine..Grrrrrrr
Ok, into the house at the threat of peotentially waking the family when my Schnauzer goes berserk, doesn't happen, finally! A little luck 
Have to check Fish-Hawk in case he tried to PM me... No PM Grrrrrrrr It's now 5:05 What a morning so far. Finally get a break, Markus calls me back, he got my message. He asks "Where are you?" Still in the truck waiting for MT
"What the %##%$@^^%" ...Ha! I then start with the , "do you have his number " "No" he emphatically states. Oh well, "what if he got into an accident or something" ... "What do I do" Well, I can't call him, don't have a contact number. Turns out, he doesn't have a cell....again, Grrrrr Well, can't wait anymore so start scribbling a note on a piece of cardboard from the garbage. MT, we're launching at the ferry, call me on my cell when you get there.. Remember, at this point, I didn't know he doesn't have a cell....Ok, I have to go now, Markus will be arriving and we won't be there. I hit the road.
10 minutes into the trip....ring, ring, ring...Guess who? "WIG, where are you"..
"I just left 10 minutes ago, what happened to you" "I slept in"..."No kiddin' " 
"You still coming, want me to wait in Carleton place" "No, better go ahead and meet Markus" " Sounds like a plan" "Call me when you get to the launch" "I can't, don't have a cell" "Ok it'll take you 3-1/2 hours, let's meet at 9:00 on the dock at the ferry."Done deal. Put the pedal to the metal. After a couple hours, phone rings again, Markus was getting gas and was afraid it might all be for nothing as the winds were quite brisk. "No problem" I say, little to no wind here so far. We agree to keep trucking....As I hit 33 at the Gap, it looked beautiful out there. Big smile comes to my face
:. That almost changes as the phone rings again, it's Markus again. "Where are you?" "How's it look?" I ask. "It's blowing pretty good WIG but, it's fishable" Whew Great news. Again he asks "Where are you?" "5 minutes from the ferry" I reply...Wohooo! As it turns out, I arrived at the ferry just as Markus was crossing from the other side on the ferry... So we finally hit the water at 8-ish...The conditions were blustery to say the least. We kept at it though until we were to meet MT. And it pays off, with Markus nailing this beauty, a 10lber virtually at the ferry as we were trying to bring things in to pick up "Late Nate"..
Get him into to the boat and we head out again. the winds were not kind, blowing the boards all over to say the least. We manage to work down to the lighthouse, couldn't go further for the wind and chop were wild.Fish on just before the lighthouse. "Bill take it" "No WIG you take it".."Bill take it" "No No No..go ahead"...(must've been a guilt thing)
So I proceed to reel this beauty in 9-10 lbs on the net scale.
Well as luck would have it that would be it for the day, we left relatively early due to the wind which was originally out of the North, switched slightly to the North east, before doing a complet flip to the North west. What a windy day
As well, Markus wanted to get a good jump on the drive home as the fishing was frustrating to say the least.
All in all, just another great day with a couple great guys, for the few hours we did get out
Thanks again MT and Markus
We'll have to do it again 
Nice going on the walleyes guys. I felt that wind at work today, I can only imagine what it was like on the water. How did you guys like the weigh net?
