Boy you guys are something else. NH/BB I didn’t realize you cared so much, I am really touched.
😀 You guys fail miserably in your “Where is PTO†predictions. I do find them very entertaining though. I simply stepped beyond the realms of civilization for a while that is all. I ventured home for a three-day weekend that had a few twists. On the day I was to return to DTW I received a call from an Army Buddy of mine. In short he said, “You better get your arse down here cause the Reds are runnin’.â€

With that call, I instantly became violently ill and had to call the sick hotline at NWA. I called my doctor and he agreed that I needed a few days of rest and sunshine to recover from my illness. I then loaded my truck with gear and hooked up the boat then began the five-hour journey south to the Red Stick City. I then picked up my friend and we followed two other buddies navigating a motor home another three hours south to a little place west of Grand Isle. The boat ramp was still there but the marina was gone. We set up camp there anyway, launched the boats and prepared for the morning outing. We set out at dawn the following morning with a forty-five minute run north deep into the marshes. The Reds were indeed “runnin’â€. We fished for the next three days and the morning of the fourth. It was unbelievable, we never saw another boat and limited out everyday. I ended the week with five gallons of filets. Anyone up for a fish fry? I really did need that trip, I am now charged up and ready to take on another six months at NWA. Sorry I dropped the ball on you guys but there was no cell phone service out there thus rendering my PC Aircard useless.
🙁 After my return home from the Deep-South I only had one more day before my RDO’s started again so I felt that I needed some more recoup time. Never fear though PTO is back in full force.
