There was a threat of rain, but it held off with only a few sprinkles through out the 20 hour tourney.

Yet the saying on Dave's sign is quite appropriate...


If you can't read it, it says "Life is not about waiting for the storm to end...but learning to Bowfish in the rain.

Amen, Uncle Dave.

Dave had a couple of more prizes just to keep it fun and interesting.

There is the "Chit outta luck award" that went to the team finnishing just out of the money.

That went to Team Silver Foxes.


Maybe that will add a little luck for next time.

There was also the long distance award that went to the team traveling the farthest. The difference was tiny. We didn't get a picture, but it went to Team Carp-Enders. The prze was two cans of Beernuts to sustain them on the return trip.

Joanne did her usual outstanding job keeping us fed and holding down the fort while we were out on the lake. She doesn't get told thank you nearly enough.


At 6pm we all (well nearly all came back and ate supper, BSed and generally had a great time.
Deb provided a little extra entertainment with a target for anyone who wanted to try a few shots.

Here's more pics...

Ken prepares for the next assault. Notice the cane...


A nice idea for turning a foot control into a hand control troller...

Thanks to Todd for taking me out on his boat.

Yeah, I would have deserved it. Sorry I messed up the picture. It was a long night and I was just being a little too goofy. I was gonna stick my finger in her nose but I couldn't move my fingers fast enough.

What a great time that was! It was pretty hard for us to leave while everyone was still sitting there having fun and BSing. But we were determined to find fish and get up there a little higher than usual. We're happy with how we did.

Thanks to you and Christine, Dave, Joanne and the Graves for doing all that you did to make this a great shoot. And thanks to all our sponsors and to Robert Rice for the donation for the most carp. That was great. I can't wait till next year. But I think I'm going to camp there next year; that drive is too much after a 20-hour shoot. And I didn't even drive!
