Dustin Kaehr August 29, 2014 at 1:36 pm Reply Looks like a great week! Nice job keeping Gord’s perch cleaning skills up to date!!
Andy August 29, 2014 at 3:35 pm Reply Dustin, Now that the Perch Rodeo has been postponed, the Professor and I plan on fishing the hell out of them in September.
Andy August 30, 2014 at 12:29 pm Reply That is, if Gord is kind enough to lend us a smaller boat…it’s rough going this year Professor.
Andy August 30, 2014 at 12:30 pm Reply Professor, I am also hopeful that Gord is tuning up all the motors on the portage lakes as well?
Professor August 30, 2014 at 9:14 pm Andy/(Gord)…I’m hopeful that my boat will squeeze into Bottle Lake. What concerns me are the persistent rumors of “motor trouble” on Clearwater, High Cliff and Caribou-Boo. I’ve been dreaming of fishing the hell out of these lakes for many months. It’s extremely distressing to hear about “motor problems”. My experience, understanding and, most importantly, a sworn pledge from Gord that this was all in the past and never to return to a modern-day VBL. I take his word as good.
Gord August 30, 2014 at 9:48 pm Reply Professor…….a jar of Stumps hot olives will go a long way to solving this “theoretical” motor “problem”. Besides, all my boats are equipped with the latest in paddle technology…
Andy September 3, 2014 at 11:38 am Reply Professor, If we encounter motor problems, which is unlikely given Gord’s attention to details, we can focus on bringing him a sink full of 100 perch. The pike we encountered, on a spot you and I have fished with success, were feeding on huge schools of perch. I think it might be worth exploring whether any of them have size as well. This could be having a negative impact on the whitefish population? You can only catch so many pike. If Gord has it in him, I think we should try to repeat the smally success we had last year. Of course that might mean that Gord would have to employ his paddle technology?
Professor September 3, 2014 at 7:04 pm Reply Andy…I think we should simply promise Gord a sink full of perch and then hand deliver a monstorious load. I agree that catching lots of fat pike can become tiresome, so let’s not overdo it. One thing I won’t tolerate are perch crowding out my whitefish buddies. We better check this out and be prepared to play hardball if necessary. As for Gord demonstrating his rowing tech upgrades, I’m all for it. Please keep in mind the last time we did this required us serving him a five-course breakfast before he was willing to go with us. Plus, he was rather grouchy very early in the morning.
Gord September 3, 2014 at 7:20 pm Reply So many perch, so little time. Oh, what of the Perchmaster and his plaintiff cry………
Andy September 4, 2014 at 2:05 pm Reply Kurt has been very silent lately. Might I say that I miss his blog contributions and his presence at VBL. I hope his fortunes improve in 2015 and that he can participate in the rodeo next year. The professor and I will have a lot of time on our hands shortly and will hopefully be able to inspire him with a few videos. Oh yea…who won the best video contest last year?
Perchmaster September 4, 2014 at 4:06 pm O I’m here just enjoying all the Beaver Bullshit you and the Professor keep tossing around. I have to let you enjoy the limelight while you can cause soon we will regain the titles and the trophy will belong with us.
Andy September 5, 2014 at 9:07 am Perchmaster, you do realize the contests are all rigged don’t you? Some musky angler is going to reverse the typical scenario and catch the largest perch of the year, or the rodeo will be postponed until 2016. By the way, I actually prefer very little light and lemons over limes. Please enjoy what’s left of this fall.
Perchmaster September 8, 2014 at 3:47 pm Reply Yes Andy you are correct the contest run by Gord are always rigged
