Wow! Thank you to Waconia and the many people/companies/organizations involved in making the 2012 opener so fantastic! And thank you for including Two Chicks & A Rod as we were honored to be among 110 host-boats on the lake today...and it proved to be great fishing adventure.
6:30 AM -- We pulled the boat to Lola's Lakehouse for a delicious breakfast buffet (what was in those eggs?!)
8:00 AM -- Two Chicks & A Rod (Heidi & Heather) were interviewed by Kate Renner of Channel 5 for their live broadcast just prior to the official Governor's send-off. (thanks Kate!)
9:00 AM -- Met fishing legend Dan Gapen, and he kindly agreed to be filmed (check out the video)
9:30 AM -- We met up with our Guest, City Council Member Larry Millender, and headed out to do some damage.
10:15 AM -- After riding weed line -- and lots of fishing savvy from Larry -- Heather lands a monster Crappie!
10:45 AM -- Heidi lands an even bigger one! (but only after letting one get away due to attention troubles)
12:00 PM -- Arrived at Waconia Beach for a fantastic walleye shore lunch! -- Yum!
1:00 PM -- After many photos, conversations and lots of note taking about 'best fishing tips' we headed home with a new appreciation of how fishing brings people, family & community together.
Thank you Waconia and everyone involved in the 2012 Governor's Fishing opener!
See you next year!
