Week 5 - Black Lake, NY

Week Five was a little bit nice and a little bit ugly!  In the area where our cabin is, there are 5 others ( 4 cabins and a mobile home).  3 of those 5 were inhabited by a "family".  They were all there for what appeared to be a family reunion.   This was cause for concern......and a royal pain in the "you know what"!  At one time I counted.... and found there to be 13 young children........who made a habit of running non-stop on and off the dock, and who had their inflatable  rafts tied to the dock, and despite the huge sign that read "NO SWIMMING ALLOWED" spent most of their time jumping off the dock and swimming. ( Which was a royal pain for the rest of us trying to maneuver our boats to and from the dock.  The adults were no better..... as they had they corn hole game going, those not playing set up their chairs in the middle of the road, where those of us going to and from our cabins had to find our way around.  And there was one couple who found it necessary to argue and scream at each other ....... in language I will not write in this post.   Needles to say - this ruined our entire week! 

As you are aware, I take pictures of everything........but I got NO pictures of this group! 

We did get out fishing on Saturday!   It was a pretty windy day and we were fishing near the bridge, north of the cabin.  Just before heading back in, this DRONE appears, and stops in mid air, about 25 ft away, and right in front of me.   Sorry, but I think that is so rude!   Monday we were back out.....not great fishing, but Rich did catch a Small Mouth Bass. Thursday - the weather was strange... rainy and a bit chilly and the lake and skies were almost black!   And on Friday we watched the groundhog in the yard!

And in week five we had a couple of very good meals ( actually all our meals are very good).   We did our fish fry again........It was my first time eating Walleye.... and I have to say it was very very tasty!  Even better than our crappie!  And on Saturday we ordered a pizza from Echo's!  Pepperoni and Sausage........and it was great!

Fishing was becoming more and more of a disappointment.  Yes, Rich caught a small mouth bass.......but not a keeper!  By the end of the week or fish count was at 285, with me falling more and more behind  Rich 165 and Me 120!
