WHAT TO BRING
Fishing
Rods
Reels
Tackle Box
Net (1 per boat)
Depth Finder (1 per boat)
Minnow Bucket (1 per boat)
Worm Container (optional, Dinty Moore Beef Stew Cans work nice)
Stringer (Sometimes nice to have two per boat)
Needle Nosed Pliers, Clippers, Knife (Tether for your pliers, you know who you are)
Clothes
Couple pair of pants
Few pair of shorts
Underwear (one of the most frequently forgotten Items)
Socks (another frequently forgotten item)
A couple of towels
Two pair of shoes
Flip Flops or slippers for the Cabin
Fitted sheet for mattress (optional, and by optional, I mean Trent is the only person who does this)
Hat (At least one that has the ability to cover your ears)
Rain Suit (This is not optional and make it the last thing you put in your duffle bag)
Miscellaneous
Sunblock (In 2009 we were 10 feet from the sun for about 4 days)
Bug Spray (It better have deet or you are wasting your money)
Fillet Knife
Sunglasses (May want to consider an extra pair as well)
Clear safety glasses (great for the driver of the boat in the evenings, keeps the bugs out of your eyes)
Stick a golf or small towel in your tackle box.
Krazy glue – Great for patching up small cuts
Flashlight and batteries – The walk from one cabin to the other gets a lot longer in the dark.
Camera – Disposable or Digital – If digital, don’t forget the batteries
Any tobacco products you might use – Sweet lord, you don’t want to buy it up there.
Tips:
Line your duffel bag with a big trash bag before you put your clothes in it (It will rain on the way up or down the river) and put an extra one in there for on the way back if need be.
Wash your hands before taking your contacts out. (I found this out the hard way, not only does in burn like heck but bug spray is impossible to get off your contacts)
Bring some type of waterproof bag to keep your raingear in the boat (Also handy when you start peeling off layers)
Sounds like the Walleye Killer may be the new camp director.
ReplyDeleteI am not one to campaign, but if this trip doesn't start shaping up, there may be some type of coup de tat.
ReplyDeleteCoup de tat...that's French ain't it? Darn sure ain't Redneck!
ReplyDeleteEverything is French to you WV folk.
ReplyDeleteDon't bad mouth West Virginia and expect to be welcome here. Shirley
DeleteCamp Director has lost control of camp and his wife. What in the hell is this world coming to? :).
DeleteNeed to get some of these guys stirred up on this blog. You know...get excited about fishing.
ReplyDeleteBy the way,I did put an order in for jigs (see below under Dabbling).
I will be present. Trying to work out some bugs with the computer.
ReplyDeleteAaron, I've got your order. Responded below. You people and your 1/4 oz jigs. You don't know what you are missing not using 1/8 oz. By the way, if anyone (other than Troy) would rather have bronze hooks, let me know. I prefer the red but I do have some bronze ordered.
ReplyDeleteTexas Bob says come one, come all be present for grocery list,alcohol order,and boat placements. Smart asses in the back cabin and get leaky boats,that means Ryan and Troy. No respect for your elders, meaning camp director.
ReplyDeletePS Don't mess with the big dog!
Nice to see you finally recognized we are going to Canada this year. May 25 may be the latest a meeting has ever been scheduled. I'll talk to Trent and see if he can't turn things around.
ReplyDeleteNow this is the way to get things stirred up a little!!!
