Are there any artist's going this year?  I was just thinking,  ::)  the rock needs to be updated. ;D

Aboriginal art can be a very scary thing....                Jimbo   8-)

:o I was going to wear a Gilley suit to liven things up on the portages, but I think those pink frocks would create an even bigger stir.....

So when, and to where, is the flock migrating this summer ?   :D

You may have to attend a Copia lunch/dinner to find out.  ;)

BTW, any details?

At this point, the pink tea leaves are pointing in the direction of Spook Central.  Final destination to be unveiled, as expected, at 'Copia Luncheon.

Hey! is there going to be any rendezvous this year? We just got our June 18 Quetico entry permit. #43 McAree

fishguts,

Odds are we go in on June 27, a good bit later than your party & NW of your EP.  If you DO paddle into our general vicinity, however, Magic Paddler tells me one can ONLY locate our rendezvous point on moon-less nights when the white wolf howls seven times.

Which reminds me, I forgot to ask Magic Paddler some important questions: Hey, Magic, how are we supposed to know the danged howling wolf is WHITE when sky is so dark?  What happens if we follow the howl of a black wolf instead?  Then, say the wolf turns out to be white with a black face and he only howls four times... what then?  

Am I the only one sweating out these essential details of Jimboree '08???

BTW, I like the chances of us flushing out a spook or two in our new pink outfits (see Bo's "models", above), smoking cigars.  Danged spooks, we'll just see who turns & runs first THIS year!!!

Sometimes in the woods a Rookie Jimboreer just never knows who's watching them.

Those hidden camera's work great in ther woods.  
EH WR?

I can handle spooks, alright, QP.  

IF I run into THAT, however, I expect I too shall turn tail & take flight!!

The ghosts don’t bother me as much as that thing you pulled up out of the water last year. You remember you had to beat it back into the water with a club.

Cute, very cute........ I love the shirt

Upon disclosure, at Copia, of the Jimboree '08 plans, will a precognative trip report once again follow here in QJ for our reading pleasure as we ride out the remains of another hard water season  :question Inquiring QJrs want to see what QP's hidden cameras (get out the lense cleaner) and Jimbo's foggy crystal ball (get out the Windex) have in store for this year. I think the unusual blue-gray haze that follows QP and the purple haze that follows Jimbo have somewhat altered reality  ;) Japanese radioman and eyebrow sisters, what's next ? Or.....maybe it is just my OD in amperage and continent covering tarp that have altered my perception of reality  :o :o :o  

Stay tuned

Does Captin Kirk ring a bell?  :-/

Jimboree Moto:

To seek out the lakes of the Quetico frontier.
These are the voyages of the Jimboree canoe.
Our mission, to explore each lake, and cross every portage.
To seek out the biggest fish and find a soft place for our tents.
Be proud in pink with confidence
And to boldly go where no humans have gone before

You might need Scotty to beam you up out of some of the predicaments that you get in

HEY!! My dad wears those clothes all the time. Around the house, to work, to the store... I didnt know he brought those clothes up on the trip.

Mr. Evinrude,

Yeah, he's wearing the "trainee" outfit.

In a few years he GRADUATES to what Bo & I are wearing in the picture that started this thread....

Jimbo   8-)

Yeah that is IF he makes it there... Hes not as experienced in "The Way of the Pink". I dont know maybe hell make it there eventually.

Yeah, Magic-

Bring your "beating stick" and get ready to catch a big one again [see:   (You need to Login or Register ].  Unfortunately, this year we are forced to comply with new park rules.  NO LIVE BAIT!  You will have to leave your sacrificial goat at home this year.  

That's not all bad, though.  Those bleating little beggars would more often than not chew through the lines tethering them to camp.  Then, we'd end up chasing them 'round & 'round the woods.  Not to mention the nuisance bear problems they brought us over the years!  We're probably better off without them.  Nevertheless, Pollyhumpers sure DID like those goats, though, didn't they?!  Especially the spotted ones!  My personal preference were the white ones with black spots, particularly in the mid-evening hours with the sun going down.  You could troll those babies at about half-paddling speed on a smooth surface, then... WHAM!! Hold on, brother, 'cause you're going for a ride!!!!

Ah, the good old days....

Nope, we're gonna play by the rules & come up with legal bait in 2008.

That's not to say that we couldn't send Quentin out for a swim just before we start fishin', though.  He's a pretty fast using that butterfly stroke, as I recall.  That's JUST the right sort of action that will attract a Pollyhumper, too.  If we practice, we can get it so we cast in right behind him right about when he starts to get tired.  With luck, we get the Pollyhumper & Quentin gets to keep his right foot.

I was thinking about contacting one of those guys who carves those wooden duck decoys for a living.  Maybe they could create us a "goat decoy"?  I realize it wouldn't be a very lively lure & getting it to sink down to Pollyhumper depth could be a pain-in-the-you-know-what but it just might work.  Could be that Dr. Juice sells a "Tournament Pollyhumper Scent" that we can spray on the lure, too.  We should research that.

If Bo comes along, we could just rub the lure on him, eh?  He sort of smells a bit like a goat, don't you think?

With a little preparation, I'm confident we can do this thing right, despite the new rules.

And Magic, don't you forget to file down your treble hooks.  No barbs, remember?  Best get started now, though.  It takes a while to shave down the barbs on a grappling hook....

Jimbo did things change in the Jimboree Code book.  Geesh, I miss one little fishing escpade and everything gets out of place.

I thought ALL of the Jimboree clan, had to have the proper gear and fishing bait.

Jimboree 2006 best boat award goes to Jimbo.  I suspect we might see this demo version in a company catalog soon.  Sure hope all the trademarks in order.

I'm thinking I might just need too drop in on some Secret Lake this year and keep up the minutes of the next Jimboree.  
WR wasn't that your job last year?  Didn't Jimbo give you the pink notebook that matches your shirt?  

Like Jimbo mentions we're gonna play by the rules & come up with legal bait in 2008.  
Old Salt you better leave that #4 Duluth pack full if lures at home this time.  I know a couple of those are outlawed.

The following baits are in question.

I suspect Gulp International has something much like it.

I just hope they last long enough to get the fish in the boat.

Jim
If those pollyhumpers get a whiff of Bo cigar they will berry them selves in the bottom of the lake. Isn’t that why Bo smokes those things to keep the pollyhumpers away?
Bo
Are there any places along this rout we should be on the lookout for? IM me if you would rather.
