Rally is 5 weeks out

[Rob LaMoy]

Hard to believe but the rally is only 5 weeks away. I will attempt to resolve the room rate issue today. If any of you that have not signed up are planning to attend, please sign up so I can make arrangements with the Naked Turtle for dinner on Saturday. If you have any questions, don't wait. We want everyone to enjoy themselves and not have to run around, or get lost etc. I will be contacting Jordan again soon to see what he plans on doing while attending. Please if everyone can also let me know whether or not you will have a boat. We want to be sure everyone has a boat to fish from. I think that actually, we will have more boats than anglers which is good. In the event that someone cannot get a partner for Saturday, we may keep it a 5 fish per boat limit, that way guys can still fish it, if they elect to fish alone. You won't HAVE to team up with somebody if you don't want to. Please take neccessary steps and buy what you need for catch and release. I recomment chunk ice, not chips, a c&r formula or tablets, and be sure your livewells will be working properly and change the water as needed. The water should still be pretty cool that early so 2 times should be adequate. The locals watch these events to monitor impact on fish mortality so lets not dissappoint them OK? Again I recommend the Stonehelm as a place to stay, it's very close, convenient and easy to find, with a gas station across the road. And for those who show up late Friday night and don't know where the launch is, the Stonehelm is on my way and I will be stopping there early each morning to be sure everyone is up, and can follow me. Don't want anyone to miss out because of a bum alarm clock or missed wake up call. If you're hung over and don't answer(I won't mention any names) you're on your own! LOL

FYI to everyone. Several of us will be prefishing and goofing off Friday the 7th. Everyone is welcome. I think Marke will be there, myself, Ken, Mac, Pierre, Tom, and Jim. The day will most probably end with drinks and lies. We can probably just head back to the Stonehelm and I can bring my grill over and we can get steaks and ribs. Time will tell. It could also be a good time to share tips and possibly spots. For those who have smaller boats, and/or no time to pre-fish, I will have my map and be available to give up some water. As I told Marke. I generally will not tell the same spots to two people. However, you may see me show up on some of that water. The great thing about Champlain is that you can have 5-6 boats share a bay, because of the sheer size.
