Man, oh MAN, I cannot wait.
I should be sticking some serious smallies Saturday morning........8 days of 14+ hour canoe smallie fishing.......GOTTA LOVE IT.
I have not done a robo fishing trip up there in about 5 years. I sure hope I can handle it :) :) .
It is nothing to catch 70-100 fish a day up there.......and we're not talking about 12 inchers either..........

Good luck and stay safe, George!
I sure am jealous. I've done 2 trips to the BWCA and am dying to get back. Our fishing wasn't always the greatest, though.
As usual I want to be ''Geo'', dang it man you live a nice life.
Enjoy and be safe.

Man, I CANNOT WAIT.
In reality though this trip is about what a long weekend trip to KY lake costs. I can do it for about 300 bucks.........Mostly because I own my own canoes and all the gear, and I go with groups of 4-8 guys. The more guys that go, the lower the costs. The single biggest expense now days is the Gas. So going with 8 where you take an economy car and a BIG TRUCK works great.
100 bucks for gas, 100 bucks for food/licenses, 100 bucks for permits. 300 bucks.

Dude I can swing that one easy. Heck I spend that going to Cumberland for a few days sometimes. By the way I match you on almost every line, but I can't fish either but I love trying.
I can't wait either. This will be my first trip up there. It's been pretty reasonable for a week-long trip, and George assures me his dinners will be gourmet all the way! I fully expect to fish at least 12 hours per day every day. It just can't get better than that!

Out trip is a little more expensive.........150-200 bucks due to RABC, and Canadian Nightly camping fees....
Take the final quote I gave you for our trip and subtract 150-200 bucks maybe a little more and taht is what you have for a BWCA trip.......
