When do you plan to launch for the season?

For the moment I am boatless. After some 25 years of boating we
sold our
32
foot cruiser about a year ago, so I have no launch date for this
year.
;-(

Perhaps we will buy something in another 5 years when we buy our
retirement
house on the water. Most likely a lot sooner.....it will be a
smaller
boat
though. ;-)

I always looked forward to April and spent a good 2 weeks getting
the boat
prepped before launch.



You can help me with mine

Remember, you have an open invitation to Huron anytime this summer.

Thanks Wally. I may take you up on it. Let me know if you need any
power
tools in buffing and waxing your boat. I have a great Porter Cable
orbital
buffer you can borrow.

Onto more important things......How much do you pay/hour? My wife is

redoing the interior of the house and I can use some extra bucks.
;-)

Are you still at Huron Lagoons? I have a friend moving over there
from
Romps in Vermillion. They got a pretty crappy dock but I guess there
were
only 2 available at the time of the boat show.

I meet with some friends from Ohio every year for a fishing trip to
places like Lake Cumberland, TN. It has been a time honored tradition
by those guys for years, one of them moved to GA, he and I became
friends, and so now I go. I've been to see them a few times in your
area. Vermillion, and Loraine. Had a lot of fun. I wanted a monster
Walleye, but just got smallish ones. Oh, and I LOVE Lake Erie perch!



Yellow perch are indeed delicious. We have had 3 fish fries this winter
from the fish caught last season.
First I dip them in flour, then in a milk/egg mixture, then in seasoned
breadcrumbs...then into the pan and fried in vegetable oil.

I prefer perch over walleye, but walleye are more fun to catch. ;-)

April 15th for me.

We were planning on taking Far Cove to the Gulf Islands to see the
Arrogant Worms, but I've been fighting a flu and we didn't think that cold
air would be good for me.

I'm getting a V-boat (flyfishing) this Saturday and taking it out on Mill
Lake. Sunday, assuming I get the electrical outlet fixed on the truck,
I'll be launching the Tin Boat in Allouette.

In other words, I "launch" whenever I want to.

We never took our boat out of the water.


Why do people take boats out of the water?

Around here, the water turns solid for about 3 months. :-)

To put it on the shelf in the nice, dry, shady, wind-resistant boatel. And to
keep the ice from crushing the sides. And so people won't steal stuff that's
left on it. And 'cause my boat whispers in my ear, "Please take me out of the
water for this cold, cold winter coming up."

I'd live in Naples too if I hadn't given all my money to my damn dentist for
implants!

You're "getting a V-boat"...what's a V-boat? And why do you
plug your "V-boat" into your truck before you launch it on a lake?


Probably a Vee shaped float tube.

The mind boggles.

At least yours. They are supposed to move easier. I have a U shaped tube
and it is very nice to go fish the ponds 5 minutes from my house for some
nice bass.

I boat year round, on every continent. I live aboard 11 months out of
the year, usualy in my private slip, in front of my 7 differnet
waterfront homes.
