Ok, Pete does that mean you won't be touching the net.

If we are turny fishing he will be holding the net but just long enough to hand it to who ever is LANDING/NETTING the fish..................and that's ALL I have to say on that !!!!!!!

Geez...I don't understand your attitude...Maybe you'll let me drive da boat?!

Ok just a head-up guys.................Now the May deal is Tournment fishing , two things heavy fishing pressure and LONG day on the water.................also HOOT will be with us...........what a normal day in the past has been...............on the water at 6ish , bring food and drink fish for 6 to 10 hours come back in done for the day............clean fish take care of boat............next day same deal , next day till noon.

10 hours thats all. It doesn't get dark until 9pm.

Wait a minute 10 hours with hoot.

So ........  all kidding aside ( ya like those two will do that )......is this a done deal ?????
If so when do you plan on showing up in camp ?
When do you plan on leaving ?
Don't for get to get a " DERBY TICKET !!!!!!!!

If you want to come earlier it would be a better idea than staying longer unless you wanted to hit L.O. a day or two. The fishing will be real slow for a time after the derby with 100's of boats beating up on the fish !!!! We could also go over to Cayuga after the derby also !!!!

It's a done deal for me. I am planing to arrive on the 25th as early as I can and departing on the 28th after we are done fishing...At this point I am not sure if it will take me longer or not to get up there. I haven't done a mapquest yet.

Should I bring spoons along? How about other baits?

I will arrive as early as you want me too. What time do you want to start the pre fish? I could leave at 3am and be there around 7am. Unless you want me there earlier. I would be leaving on the 28th. After fishing.

7 would be good on the 25th , we can run and gun get a few spots in the GPS. Go in have lunch and pick up your derby ticket in Ovid. Pete pick yours up at the bait shop in Watkinsglen when you come up or if your here when we go to Ovid we can get it then.

Any special foods ya want me to bring along? I'll be bringing my journal along so lets make sure our cameras work and we have back-up batteries!

Not off the top of me head Pete ..........most any thing you have a hankering for I guess..............maybe I can get a few lanlocks , bows or brown before you guys get here and put the DARK BROWN sugar to these and do them up on the grill.

I ordered & paid for my NY license. I should have it in hand in a week to ten days...Woo wee, I'm ready!

I received my NY license yesterday...Woo wee!

Man o man...it sounds like you guys are gonna have a great time!  

Yea and we're even gonna go fishing to.

Three weeks and a day, boys! Woo wee!

Just a heads-up, I may arrive on the 24th...I'll firm this up in the next day or two...

Hope you guyz have a great time  wish I could afford to be there   

Thanks Dave, It won't be long now.

Hey guys , dave , mo thanks for the kind words............good news , bad news...........Hoot's wife Carol took a fall and is recovering slowly .............that's why Hoot has not been around.............Just talked with him at his trailer a bit ago he has his DERBY card already in his truck and is ready to fish with ----- that are ---- and ------. His words not mine..............

Thanks, Bro! Wish you could be here too!

Hey Pete, what do you think hoot means by that?
