in the last 90 days, i have fished with inky on the quinalt 45 times. he was never late one time. if he was a no show, you might have met him in the wrong place. when inky has a trip he shows up. i've been fishing with inky for 25 years and have never been stood up. we even have a halloween costume party every year and inky has been known to show up as an indian.
