SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

====================

There seems to be a rumar that anything to do with Bananas is voodoo for Ontario. Well we purchased a Boat and she is named Bananas. Because we had commited to fishing another boat on Pro/Ams and the birth of our new Grandchild we have not fished our boat much this year. We where determined to end this foolishness about Bananas and Ontario.

Here is how it played out. We purchased 2 lbs. of Bananas, whore yellow shirts and went on Bananas. We put our first rod in at 7:30 and took the last rod out at 10:45. We went 10 of 12 with respectable size fish(nothing to yell about), the largest was 3 kings close to 20 lbs. All fish where released except 2 that would not have survived. The first to fire was our Riggers then we got a triple on our 2 wires and one rigger. Copper never fired once. All in all we had ablast and we will be back tomorrow to try a place one on the board.

Bananas and lake Ontario is a good combination....

Have fun, fish safe and take a Kid and a Banana fishing...

Tell Paul C. of Free Spirit, IT WAS NOT THE BANANAS!!!!!....

Beautiful fishing machine! You have me thinking that I should stop by 7-11 to pick up bananas before heading out this a.m.

Tight lines!

Don't temp fate and continue to mess with the Banana Gods!

UpGrady,

I have a hard time believing in curses. We have been catching fish all season on this boat while we where switching gear from our smaller boat and getting cought up with the last 3 pro/ams and family matters. Now the boat is fully ready and we have some time to spend on her, we will be just fine.

The curse on the Red Sox was some 75 years before they finally won a world series and I am a devoted Yankees fan but since the Red Sox accomplishments they still are one of the best teams in baseball. Saying that once again I think we will do just fine in boating some quality fish out of the BIG O.
