Mental images of impressing my guests with walleyes & pike danced in my head. I must have had a faulty synapse though, because what we actually found were mostly rockbass.

Slushy did manage the one and only walleye; although small, it was at the end of the visit and we were pretty pleased to just lay eyes on one.

I coaxed out the scrawniest, sickest pike I've ever seen. He was long enough, but this fella had seen better days, and I wonder if the stress of capture put the final nail in his coffin. He swam off briskly enough, but he was one pathetic creature.

The best fight came from this hefty rockbass, which I was sure was a walleye. Told Slushy & Gord: "this one has some weight!" -- well, I guess that was true enough, but I took a ribbing when a rocky came boatside.

We had a lot of laughs & had some burgers together (yes, Slushy, we Americans eat baked beans on days other than Saturday

Here's a pic of Ty and Bowzog; (Ty's rocky was bigger, so Bowzog was pouting

Thanks also for making the drive from Stittsville to Westport. It was great to see you both again and to have a little catch-up and fishing. Maybe NEXT time we'll find you some game fish!!!
