Gone Fishin'

I'm very happy to report that for the third consecutive time, I'm still the undisputed champion of the fishing tournament at Coach Gate Wynde Condominium Complex.  The all day event is held every two years at our friend Jerry and Helen's condo complex.  They have about a two-acre lake, and keep it stocked.  Every two years they have a tournament to get rid of all of the bluegill/sunfish that have overpopulated the lake.  Today's tournament would also benefit the Kentuckiana Raptor Society - they were taking all of the fish caught and would use it to feed the birds that they are nursing back to health. 

Team PRP caught approximately 200 bluegill.  Not a bad day of fishing.  We were out on the banks by nine o'clock this morning; the fog hadn't even worn off yet.  Once we found our groove we were reeling them in as fast as we could bait our lines and cast back out.  A fun time was had by all. 

We had more amenities at this year's tournament -- the complex rented a PortaPotty so we didn't have to walk allllll the way around the lake to get back to the condos.  That was very handy for those of us who drank one too many cups of coffee this morning.  The PortaPotty made up for not getting trophies this year.  I'm making the suggestion that at the next tournament, we have someone bring around a drink cart.
