Hey RJ,
Had my fingers crossed for you and Len to pull off a big weight and sneak in to the Classic...tough going, but like you said, you guys learned a bunch of valuable info this season, which I'm sure will help you place higher in future years.
I could relate to some of your insight following the blog, especially the Francis event. Much like you, my strength lies in shallow water largie fishing - hands down. Gave me some food for thought about elevating my knowledge about chasing those fish that live in the deeper depths...
Enjoy the months of "fun" fishing that lie ahead of you....you deserve the break.
Thanks again for sharing your trials and tribulations - it's been a good read.
Good Fishing,
Justin

Then Lake X........Lake XX .........Lake XXX.....



Thanks for the inside glimpse of the Renegade throughout the series. The reports were enjoyable to read regardless of the weights.
Sorry that you weren't able to hit the magic number for the Classic... tough summer for you both. In the big pic you'll be better off for the experience. It will allow you to learn new things, that wouldn't happen had you found a bunch of kickers.
Enjoy the early break and start hitting those deep shoals before things cool off!!

RJ I don't think that it was because of The Ottawa River on sat. The Ottawa hasn't produced big numbers for me this year except opening day.
We were on the Rideau and had low numbers as well but we managed 4 that were close to 4 lbs. So quantity wasn't there but quality was.

When hell freezes over, I'll be there icefishing!!!

Experience is that marvellous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again
