Sept. 5, 2010
Okay so now we are getting a little miffed at the weather. In all the years we've been away during the same week,we may have had day or two that were not supreme,but at some point we've always gotten out there for more than a few hours at some point. This is proving to be a wash by day 3. But alias, the company is good,we've met a nice couple from Niagara, even  a father and son from our local area in London. This is a nice change,we are normally the only Canadians at a resort.There is another fishing party with 3 fellows from....crap I forgot,the States at any rate.They got here on prev. Wed. and were having a tough time too with the weather. The worst was that it is they brought a young fellow with them,and as there is no satellite TV up here, only in the lodge,(your cabin has TV & DVD player) so I think he got kinda bored after dark.
So the smack talk had begun yesterday at dinner,  about the ones that got away . How large our catches were last year. Dave and his Dad have been up before,so they are pretty used to the area and we all share our fav holes. Honestly this is the first place we've been that every ones in it to win it,so to speak, but everyone shares their holes . Theres none of that vague, "Oh we were over there..." Its a, do ask, do tell society at Brennan. The saying seems to be "its a big lake lots of room for everyone".You'll find as you boat around, that Breannan guests slow down and see if its someone from the resort, and share info, never had that before. I guess the mentality is, if you want to continue with good fishing in the years ahead, keep only your limit and watch your slot sizes. Nice to see there are others that follow that train of thought, and conform to regulations. It seems to be a daily occurrence that at some point we gather at the the map of the bay, and drink in hand speck out where we were. Though unless Shorty's around we can never be too sure.
Shorty is the resort's handyman/fish guide/info center .Heck we even rely on him for the weather at this stage. He's lived here all his life, and you can see hes still loves it here.
 We've been really lucky to meet up with some very nice people from the States, so far too. Rick was up from Cincinnati (?) with his nephew Justin,we'd met them last year. Rick comes up several times a year, I think James may have to hire him on as  a temp fishing guide should Shorty ever retire! This guy can catch fish ! Never skunked, and is quite modest about it too!! You'll see his catch on the website,fellow in the red shirt I believe.
So that was it for the day.
Okay I'm gonna break down here and give it to you, as we love this resort and the people,and they deserve the highest praise for the way they run this piece of paradise. Its almost a nice secret to keep for the ones that have found it. But here it is  http://www.brennanharbour.com/
