Spent a few days, here and there, catching up on the web site. I've been trying to keep up but it's too much sometimes. I have to go back and look at the videos to refresh my memory but I've been lax on the trips, not taking videos.
Several Knights have provided their candid snaps, which helps a lot. I can usually find something in them to trigger the memory of an event or funny story.
The big summer trip is coming up. Several Knights heading back up to Chippewa. Weather has been on a temperature roller coaster, with frost predicted for Saturday night. It was in the 30s this morning.
Back to working on the summer 2007 web pics.

It's been a long time
The web site has been updated with a few new posts. Shamefully, the King is way behind on posting to the web site or to this blog.
The spring trip for 2009 was to Watauga Lake, TN. The lake and scenery were beautiful and the accommodations were top notch. This is good because the fishing was tough. Besides being a new lake for us the bite was off too. We had good weather, even into the 80s; probably our warmest ever spring trip. Several Knights were O for Watauga, the King was not one of them, taking the "big fish" title with a 19" smallmouth at the last minute, Saturday morning.
No fish fry, there wasn't enough for everyone. We thought about "loaves and fishes night" but opted for leftovers instead.

Spring Forward at Dale Hollow
Another successful spring trip to Dale Hollow, TN. Weather was perfect but the fishing was a bit off. Sir Tim scored right off the bat with a nice 20" walleye. During the next few days it was mostly small bass and sunfish, then Hagar scored with a 20 3/4" smallie. No camera and not quite legal, he had to release it, keeping only a memory. The Prince closed out the big fish with a 21" walleye on Saturday, a somewhat overcast and drizzly day.
We had some campfires and several games of horseshoes. Most of our spring trips have been very wet and cold but this one was just the opposite, nearly perfect weather with warm sunny days and cool Knights. We even managed to get a little sunburned.
One catastrophe this trip was the loss of Sir Patsy's rod and reel. We suspect a lake trout reached into the boat and stole it while he was busy releasing a small bass. Well, that's what the Bass Pro Shop is for.
Sir Concorde brought along a friend, Squire Gary. Concorde and Gary braved the trip by riding along in Lancelot's Land Rover, with the dirt seeking hull. No mishaps on this trip, the Land Rover staying firmly on the water.
Snaps to follow soon.
On board for this trip were
Tim & Faithful Patsy and Robin
Hagar & Roger,
Galahad & Gawain
Lancelot, Concorde & Squire Gary
Prince & King

allo knnnnnnighits.

We've been to Dale in the fall many times, it's a tough fish, especially with the drought. I was watching ESPN fishing this morning and they're talking about how far down the lakes are, some over 14'. Fishing is tough all over so don't blame Dale. Besides, it makes for excellent shoes and drinking. It's more fun than working, that's for sure.

I concur, oh magnificent Oge. Haapy Birthday. We are getting married aren't we?
Glad to hear it is a typical fall trip.
The viking is at home and resting. Doctor said I could come down tomorrow, but that I could not drive, so that is right out. I can't lift anything more than 5 pounds for 5 days . He said with my luck I would probably hook into a 10 lb. smallie and would have to cut my line. I think his name is Dr. Comicus (I did hear a drum roll and cymbal clash after he delivered his line).
Weather change probably curtailed fishing for a 24-26 hour period, but now that it is stablizing, you all should slay them.
Hoist a 'tini for me and try not to wear out the dogger too much.
Kisses
