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)
I was going to upload an audio file I captured of my brother telling my mom and wife about the time I said something unflattering about my wife while in Canada. He obviously didn't know he was being recorded. It's pretty awesome. I'm certain this is admissible evidence in any Canadian court to prove beyond reasonable doubt that he's completely lost his credibility.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't unflattering at all. But I'll tell you all the same thing I told him. The worst thing you can do is let somebody know there is nothing they can do to not win an award. I am going to earn it now. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteBrother Aaron has reschooled me on how to find the site. Interesting reading for sure. What is going on? Where is the brotherhood? What happened to the code? More importantly does anyone know how to fix a refridgerator? My shop one is down "the one I keep my beer in". Aaron said that Bob said that Richard said to stand on my head and burp. I did try it but could not burp. I did fart however which left a bad taste in my mouth with no cold beer to rid me of it. I think my big brother is messing with me.
ReplyDeleteIt published. I'm in.
ReplyDeleteBig Fish ...don't you find it interesting that these two brothers are arguing about using different "devices" and we can't figure out 10 year old computers, Bob can't find the on/off switch and Larry has a cell phone via Cody?
ReplyDeleteYou must not have done it long enough Big Fish. I'd try it just a little while longer. Good to see you on board.
