Chris,
I'm planning to stop by the store after work and was going to pick up two cases of water, a case of Pepsi and a case of 7-Up. Will that work or do I need to adjust? Do we need anything else? Tried to send you a PM but the system is telling me that your mailbox is full.

Mudinchev, David, Darren,

I'll be at the AM PM on Hwy 12 there getting a refill on my coffee and some hot case breakfast. If you see my rig in the parking lot honk and wake me up!!!

Travel safe guys, and we'll see you on Saturday!!!

Looks like NOAA updated the weather forecast for Saturday slightly. The winds are going to stay the same pretty much, SW winds in 7-8mph range shouldn't be too much of a problem. But the precip went from a 50% chance to 60% still not too awful bad. Just going to be wet longer!!!
I'll have a couple extra sets of raingear if anyone needs, 1 med set, 1 large set, nothing fancy just rubber bibs and a raincoat.
See you all tomorrow!

Were you going through Morton?

Looks like we could be in for a blustery day: http://windalert.com/spot/2072#forecast

Hopefully its not too wet to go along with the wind. If you have drift socks/sea anchors what ever you want to call them, bring them along! They help out a lot when tied to the front of the boat.

See everyone in the AM!

So.....where is the little smiley dude with his butt dragging on the ground..?

thumbsup Had a great time! It was nice to finally put some faces to some names, too bad the fishing wasn't better, but hey thats why they call it fishing. And a huge thank you to every one that made this happen, it was great to give a little back to the people that gave SOO Much!

Chris:

Thank you for the great day today at Rife Lake. Wonderful job. It was truly an honor to be able to shake the hands and recognize those Wounded Warriors who were willing to put their lives on the line for our country if need be for the freedom we all enjoy in this great nation of ours. They are some of this nations finest heros weather they realize it or not. I am so thankful to them. The fishing wasn't half bad either.

Thak you Lowe1648

Thank you Chris and Annie for your tremendous effort! It was a wonderful event. Thank everyone who helped out. Kokanee-Lou gave us maps but he forgot to put the spot where the fish were.golucky
The wind stayed away. The fishing was not easy.
We finally got our guy his limit.

While this event is for wounded warriors it isn't part of the national Wounded Warriors program. It is through Wounded Veterans’ Fishing Program sponsored by VFW Post 318.

I want to thank every one that came to help. I hope a good time was had by all. Anne and I camped 2 nites. It was fun. Did not hurt that I bought a Little Buddy heater. A little low water, and a little mud.
I wonder how many of our skippers are veterans? Of coarse I think everyone knows TrollNFisher is Active duty. I was active for 3 years. I'll bet at least 1/2 of our Washington members are veterans.
To all those that served, Thank you too.
Chris

It sure was a fun day. It was super nice to meet everyone and put some faces to names. The guy i took on the boat had to be one of the nicest people that i have meet and he seemed to really like the fishing. We managed to put 9 in the boat so we were able to send him home with a few more than his limit and man did he seem happy i even herd him call his wife and say what a great time the day was. I really want to think you chris for putting this together and allowing us to do my part it was a fantastic day.
