Another Satisfied Customer !

Winner of the "Customer who's travelled the greatest distance to Capt. Dave's" Award, Mr. Bantz displays his unbridled excitement for landing a fish Friday mid morning.

Mr. Bantz also took top honors in the following categories during the excursion:

( 2 ) - Greatest number of fish caught

( 2 ) - Greatest variety of species caught ( Perch & Blue Gill )

( * ) - Greatest poundage of fish caught -- As all other boat occupants failed to catch any fish

In addition, a good time was had by all Thursday evening-- brats on the grill & cold beer (unfortunately, the burgers were scorched as Capt. Dave was distracted by the conversations held with Mr. Bantz while attempting to grill).

Thursday evening we watched the 25th Anniversary of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, followed by a small portion of the Dark Knight on Capt. Dave's Media Center. Then we retired early in preparation of the pre-dawn wake up time.

Friday afternoon upon returning from the fishing adventure we watched Joe Bonamassa in Concert, as Capt. Dave reprieved himself by grilling the hamburgers " Just Right".

All Participants enjoyed the event, and suggested scheduling another outing in the near future.

IRWIN IS FULL OF CARP !!

After Capt. Dave's boat passed it's 2010 shake down cruise, we anchored under the shade of the Portland Mills bridge for a little fishing.

As you all are aware, customer satisfaction is #1 with Capt. Dave, he always ensures his passengers catch fish. Irwin holds the distinction of the year's first catch -- a Carp, the largest fish he's landed with Capt. Dave. Given the water's current, lightweight rod and reel, it put up quite a fight! Ultimately loosing the battle, only to come aboard for a cameo picture with the victor -- Irwin, before being gently released back into it's native habitat.

This battle however, indelibly burned lasting memories for both creatures, one positive and one negative.

We have received word the fish is currently seeking counseling....
