Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend. I had to work this past weekend. I'm hoping that Steve will let us know how it went? Pete  |

Hi Guys: We had a great day on Saturday. Every year for 6 years we've had beautiful weather--must be the good karma floating around. The club was well-represented with John and his daughter and her fiance, Greg and Claude, Mel and Trent, Steve Mihorean and my brother Mike, and former club member and so-so fishernman Andy Dafoe and his pal Peter (the retired firefighter whose last name escapes me). Other assorted family and friends put in boats or threw in lines from shore, and I shuttled countless kids to and from all of my secret spots...Best five bass went to Andy and Peter with over 15 pounds, and big fish went to Andy with 3.75 lbs. He also caught a 5.5 pound walleye, showed it off and let it go--I don't want to say he was grandstanding, but you know Andy...  All in all we raised just about $2000--we'll have an exact total soon. In 6 years we've raised over $10000 for the playroom on the Oncology floor at CHEO. Combining charity and fishing seems like a good way to spend the day. Thanks again for your donations Peter and Kim, and the Parker Clan. You were sorely missed...we mentioned you guys as we thanked the sponsors. We probably had about 60-70 people out there. We hope to create a little web-site for the event and post pictures, etc. I'll keep y'all posted. Cheers, Steve |

Steve, I'm glad to hear that the day was a success. I'm just sorry that I wasn't able to attend. I say this with the upmost sincerity that Big Rideau Tackle was more than pleased to sponsor this event as we too have a child that has been to CHEO and we know what great work they do. It's through the efforts of people such as yourself and your family by holding events like this that CHEO can offer the kind of care they give our children. I'm glad it was successful and a big thank you should go out to the Cox family for all their hard work on putting on this fine event. Pete |
