Special Fishing Trip

[Marty Davis]

For some of you old timers......

Two of my best long time model boating friends and I will be joining up for a fishing trip at lake TOHO near Orlando next week.

Ed Lackey, Gregg Huey and I will be the crew. Gregg's daughter is playing in a College Softball Tournament in Orlando and Ed Lackey lives over in Cocoa Beach. Ed has been trying to decide to go Pro Bass Fishing for several years to the expense of his model boating. He stopped racing hydros several years ago as did Gregg.

For those of you who don't go back very far in this hobby, Gregg Huey was the guy that I sold Crapshooter (Precision Boat Mfg) to in the early 80's after working for me for several years. He was a fierce competitor and a real craftsman. Lackey might have been the best overall model boat racer that I have ever seen in all the years that I have been in this hobby. If he got the start, he would only go fast enough to keep you behind him. He almost never made a mistake on the course. Loved racing him! That is where the phrase "Never show a quarter when a dime will do" came from.

Do you think that there will be a lot of stories told next week..... YOU BET, CAN'T WAIT. Probably some fish catching too. Might be a little competition between us.

Lake Kissimmee and the north chain ( Toho )is one of our haunts , specifically River Ranch .

I have always loved that saying when you use it Marty,

If the fish are keeping you guys too much from telling stories , put the rods down, it will be worth it.

Would love to hear the stories shared on that fishing trip B)

I wonder if we will see Lackey running a toy boat in the near future?

Bassin is gonna be a little tricky right now with water temps so low . Ed is probably the master at this but i would be loading up with wild shiners and live baiting !! Good luck boys !!!
