Suprise Surprise Surprise

Let me first just say, I wrote the blog the night before and after day one of the Little River (myrtle beach) tournament, and somehow on crazy hotel dial up, they not only did not post but deleted also, maybe its the computer, mayber the server, maybe, just maybe the amstel lights,
no, but really, i got one email out and all the rest of the work I did disappeared in a galaxy far away of dial up modems that require a 9 first!

How much more happy could I have been,
Thurday, I get to myrtle beach to meet my super friend Jan Chase all the way from
Michigan to fish with me on day one of tournament,
and missy, one of the four best friends I have,
well, we meet for margarita's at Margaritiville,
had a great time,
photo one,

fished day one,
had camera crew on the boat,
see photo two,
rough seas, caught some fish,
weighed in a mediocre fish,
but lots of boats had nothin'
jan and chris and I drank alot of beer
though, so great to have them on the team again,
see photo three,
Jan and I fished south florida division last year to win east coast
lady angler award
and also fished lots of gulf coast tournaments for fun,
they are great fun,
and had more jokes to add to mine,
and better yet,
had not heard most of my new, much cornier jokes,
watch OLN Fishing the Trail to hear these jokes!

So Day Two
rough again,
need like a 50 punder to seal the win,
went back home to fish charleston waters,
caught alot of fish as in day one,
but nothing bigger than 28 pounds,
had a really good day though,
as it was my birthday, I was trying to focus on
fishing and not aging,
but it was fun,
we went to run home and had a engine
going into guardian for over rev's,
which means it would shut down every time
the props came out of the water,
so mike was turning it off then turning it back on to re start it
while we were moving, becuase we were losing time stopping and
starting again,
anyway,
to make a long story longer............
i kept texting my sis that we had a fish but probably would miss
the scales due to problems,
we made it back to check in with less than 2 minutes to spare,
we were flying in,
and very happy to weigh in this mediocre fish!

SSSSSSooooooooooooooooooo
we get there and I am doing the photo thing and I walk up to the
scales with my fish and jimmyjam,
and I look up to see not only my sis Karen,
who I knew would show up,
but my sis Jeanne fromOhio
and ,
and,
tom and casey Cheffo from sunny long island new york,
tom is one of my best friends,
and casey, his daughter,
well, she and I are soul sisters,
and I love them both dearly!

So,
the story continues,
after the weigh in and interviews and fun,
I am told to go back shower and be at a local
bar in 30 minutes
I get there after my cab goes the wrong way,
to walk in and hear my favorite song,
being played by my favorite band,
the zen tricksters
who came in also from New York,

the craziness continued with all the lucy folks from
charleston, and all the shoe people,
and a bunch of fishing people,

we danced and sang all night,
finally at 4 am
I realized I had been up for more than 24 hours,

just too excited to sleep!

the weekend ended with me driving back to charleston
in my new VW Beetle Convertible,
grey and black,
perfect!

!
My good friends and family that I love
made it the most special weekend of my life!

oh,
this is a fishing blog,
placed in both tournaments, pro and local,
finished 8th overall in pro division,
far from that win,
but ounces from a higher place,
but right on the good fun and fishing,
and the best team on the planet!
