Well, we woke up on the morning of the derby. And although there was no snow on the ground, you could hear the wind... yuck! Can't we have one year where the weather is actually decent to fish in? We met up with Gary down at the pond and got out the fishing gear. The wind was blowing so strong that it was making waves break in the pond!! CRAZY!! Amaryllis was NOT happy about the wind and only lasted about 15-20 minutes before her and I headed up to the legion hall to warm up! Soon enough, in walks in Bob, Bobby and Gary. They headed back out a little later, the wind seemed to calm down a bit and we picked a different spot to fish from. Still no luck in the water a it was still blistering cold. By this time, the Billman's, the Suyao's and the McIlnay's joined in the fun. With all those rods in the water, we still had NO LUCK!! After 3 and a half hours, we finally turned in, and tried to defrost some! Oh well, better luck next year!
