Week one had a few days that were were a bit dreary and cool, but by the end of the week the work crew could be seen at the docks getting boats ready and secure for the following day's storm. And I had caught my biggest and longest fish, a 28" Northern Pike. Rich also caught a northern, but much smaller. Not a whole lot of fish for the week.....definitely not what we were used to catching here in NY... Total fish could 28, with both of us catching 14 each.
Week 2 was crazy but fun! It started out on Saturday very windy and cold with temperatures in the 50's and winds at 10-20 mpr! The lake looked more like an ocean, with some wicked waves. The boats were taking a beating at the dock...and the water in our little row boat we were renting was getting a bit deep! And on Sunday Rich got a new t-shirt for Father's Day and a phone call from Dennis!
Tuesday we headed out to Wood Shoal, Wood Island and Wood Shoal Island to fish and Rich caught an awesome 5.7 lb, 241/2 in Walleye...... which would make 2 delicious meals over the next few weeks. Picture top left is County Rt 6/ Black Lake Road.........which we traveled a few miles down the road to Pleasant View. Nice mini-golf course, cabin rentals, and a few spaces for RV's..... and there we enjoyed a Black Raspberry Cone for Rich and a dish of Butter Pecan ice cream for me. Delicious!
On Thursday we headed over to Roger's Old Oak Camps, where we used to stay. It was great to see Cherie Rogers, Gary and Karen, Paul and Monica, Bill and Linda, the Darby Brothers, and others that we had met and become friends with over the last 6 years. It was a beautiful evening. So glad we got to see them all before they left. Hopefully we'll do it again next year!
And on Friday coming in to the camp there was a gorgeous sunset.
It was a good week for fishing. Fish count up to 128. Rich 71, Me 57!
