Just so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle...
Trent, whilst under the influence, entered into a verbal/text agreement for himself and his father. He then proceeded to call me vulgar names via text message. Very poor sport.

Just received my final order....
My wife has phoned Gander Mountain, Cabela's and Bass Pro and told them to no longer accept orders from me. I think I am done shopping....well....you know, until I see the Rain Suit I want on sale. I don't know what I am going to do for the next 140 days....

Little Joe
I think with the three young boys going this year it might be time for Uncle Steve to break out the Little Joe card trick. Better practice up, the trip will be here before you know it.
JJ and Son - Welcome
Let me do the blog introductions...
WalleyeKiller - That's me. Ryan - a.k.a. every other year guy. I really take a beating here.
WawaWalleye - Troy - I assume you have met. If not we need to do a little better job screening our new applicants.
Mudslinger - Trent - You will hear him refer to himself as the Co-Camp Director - You are going to want to dismiss this.
Texas Bob - Bob - Trent and Troy's Dad - The actual camp director. You can believe most of what he tells you. There is a tipping point and takes a while to figure out how much Black Velvet makes him start lying. You'll figure it out.
FishFinder - Steve - My dad - Been going on this trip since 76 I think. Gin and Tonic is his Kryptonite.
Big Fish - Bernie - He is a little wishy-washy. Andy will tell you. Every year he says he isn't going back and every year he makes the trip.
No Pulp - Larry - But Larry's thoughts are posted by Bernie. You will soon find out that Larry entire purpose in life is to piss you off. Larry is bringing his grandson (I think) Cody.
Morgantown Pie Man - Aaron - Bernie's brother....He actually posts his own thoughts. I guess he had a big year last year, I don't know, I wasn't there. I will have to see for myself.
Anchor Boy - Andy - He will be the veteran of the young guys. Great kid. Loves the pull the anchor rope.
Theron - is...well...Theron - My brother-in-law - Making his second trip. If he asks to borrow your pliers, you are going to want to say no. Unless of course you want the added challenge of fishing them from the bottom of the river. He is taking his oldest son Connor on his first trip.
That about sums it up. You can go back to the beginning of this blog and learn a lot about the trip and the people. Welcome aboard...Trent came home from his first trip when he was 6 and told his mom "It was the best F*******g trip I've ever had." Nothing has changed. Best week of the year.

If it was yours
Imagine if the Chutes were yours. What would be the the things that you would do to fix it up a little. In other words, what needs done to make it the perfect camp?
Here are just a few things to start the list.
1. Fix the roof in the cabin.
2. Build docks down below and up above.
3. Make sure the ice gets cut every year.

I've always wondered.....
Ever wonder how ice gets cut (or doesn't get cut)

Pro-tec Powder Paint
Wow. If you ever wanted to paint your jigs, this is what you need. Crazy easy. No globs, no unevenness, really impressive. I did a few last night. Heat em up with a heat gun or a torch, dip in the powder, wait 5 seconds, drop it and start on the next one. Cured them in the oven at 300 degrees for 15 minutes. Dropped one from as high as I could reach on my workshop floor after curing and no chips, or even a scratch. I am impressed. I bought 50 1/8 oz jigs for 3.50 and they will end up the same quality as 6 Northland Jigs for 3.49.
Speaking of the jigs, I bought them from the site down a few posts and they are really good quality. Eagle Claw hooks, well molded, and much nicer than I thought they would be for 7 cents a piece. He could charge double that and still be WAY under anyone else. Pretty cool.

New Rod ordee
I just placed an order for a new rod to replace the one I broke last year. I ordered the exact same one as the one I broke. The way the walleye were fighting with each other to get hooked on that thing, I figure why change.

Change your names
Hey Troy and Ryan, could you both change your user name. Neither one of you is worthy of having the word walleye associated with your name. I laugh every time I read those names.
Pictures
Does anyone have any pictures of the hook through the thumbnail removal procedure? You had plenty of time to take them. It took him darn near all day to get the thing out of there. Pansy. I don't have many pictures at all. I am going to take our digital camera this year and photoblog the entire event. Be on your best behavior boys.
High Tech Blog
i wanted to let everyone know that I now have this blog on my droid and will be able to reply to any lies of exaggerations quicker than ever before. my typos and misspellings will be at a all time high.

Back OnLine
Well It took me a minute, but I was able to remember my password and here I am. You guys can stop telling lies now and lets get down to business. This year will have the most kids in camp since Trent and Ryan were getting their butts kicked by Little Dan and Cool Ray! As far as Logistics go, Dad and I were talking. Here is what we were thinking. Dad's truck, Larry's truck. Dad said he bought a cap, and my van. That is only room for 12, but what do you think about 2 sleeping in the back of the truck. Sorry, now that I typed this and did the math I realize that, we only have room for 10. Dad and I must have been drunk when we came up with that plan. Looks to me we might need 2 trucks the van and another car. Boy I hate to think about buying gas for 4 cars. Does anyone have a better idea.
Speaking of Logistics...
Does Uncle Bob's truck have a crew cab? Is the Silver Sierra making its first trip up north? Will Trent or I have to beg an Acadia from our wives.
Assuming the Ford is a 2 passenger ride:
Troy's Van - 6 people without much cargo I would imagine.
Acadia - 6 with very little cargo - 4 with a considerable amount
Bob's Ford - 2 people and obvious cargo.
I don't think this senario gives enough cargo space.
If we take two trucks, and Troy's van or one of our SUV's with a third row seat, we won't have enough room for 14 people.
If Bob's truck will hold 4 and Dad is willing to take his truck, the we could just decide who's wife to take a vehicle from and all would be right with the world. :) I am sure we will work it out but just something to think about.

logistics
It's been a long time since such a big group has made this trip. Hope the tractor works because there are only three to four decent boats above the chutes. Although I don't mind fishing below for a couple days.
Rodney is going to have to deliver ice at least every other day.
Bob still gets a bottom bunk.
Prediction: Connor will catch a 2o inch walleye on his first trip, not his twentieth.
Prediction: Larry's roomate will be Bernie(They have matching shirts,you know.)
Prediction: guys on last flight will not arrive at chutes the same day as everyone else.
Prediction: There will be mosquitoes
Check list for Theron: Worm box if desired,Landing net, Stringer,several sets fishermans pliers,life vest and rain suit for Connor
Note to Connor: You should be practicing with a rope and 20 pound weight fom that door above you garage to simulate pulling the anchor for your dad. (This is a PG-13 exercise)

Truth and Rumors
There are a couple of rumors going around this winter I think need some clearing up.
1. Bernie is out. (Scratched out in very light pencil)
2. Theron is in. (Written in Pen)
Edit: I have verified #2 as being true and in addition he is bringing his oldest son, Connor. Welcome to the trip Connor. Camp is officially full by my count. Additional attendees will be on cots in the kitchen of the back cabin. I may have to run for Camp Director this year since the present Camp Director and Co-Camp Direct seem to be slacking on their responsibilities.
If # 2 is indeed true. This may need to be a consideration.

Where's everyone at
This blog is one of the things that gets me through the winter, where is everyone? I know Ryan has more material to use to bash me. Troy usually talks out his ass about how great a fisherman he is- by the way, has anyone seen the minnow he has hanging on his wall? Let the bashing begin, if we don't it could be a long winter.
