It was not until July 13th that we were able to get back out fishing, and enjoy some decent weather and some good fishing. Then it was about a week of nasty weather. Caught some nice fish again around the 25th and again today the 28th. Lots of crappie and perch and red ear too and finally a good number that were keepers.
Rich - A monster Catfish 36 inch, 9 3/4 lb!! I enjoyed watching him bring this one in, as much as he enjoyed the fight!
My 25 1/2 inch Northern Pike!
My 18 inch 4 lb. Small Mouth Bass
Rich - 14 1/2 inch Small Mouth Bass
Rich - 15 inch Small Mouth Bass
When not fishing - we were still having a good time, despite the weather. One night was a trip to Pleasant View for ice cream - where Rich enjoyed a Peanut Butter Cup Sundae, and me - a dish of my favorite - Butter Pecan.
And while we were there we stopped at the Amish stand, and took home some goodies and a loaf of yeast risen bread! Delicious!
We took another trip into Ogdensburg one night for dinner at Little Italy! We were here the first time, last year, and really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. A bit tooooo much sauce on the pasta - but other than that very very good. And another day was to Redwood and then to Alexandria Bay for grocery shopping.
On the 21st there was the Scottish Festival, Chicken Barbeque and visit to the Hammond Museum........A few pictures from the day...
This one is a replica of the old Rossi Hotel. Rich and I used to visit the Hotel Restaurant and Bar back in the 70's and 80's!
And I have to share a few pictures of the sunset, the stormy skies etc.....
A view from the porch!
Sunset
Even the water changes color.....
Another sunset
Another storm on the way - heading back to the cabin.
And..........the geese in the yard next door!
We were out fishing around 6 this morning, as the forecast is for wind and thundershowers..........which is exactly what it is doing now!
