Week 6 and 7 (The last 2 weeks) - Black Lake, NY

We kept hoping that the weather would be good for fishing, and that the fishing would get better.  Week 6  was about the WORST and we were getting pretty board..... doing Sudoku Puzzles.  If it was not raining, it was very very hot, and no breeze for drift fishing.  Normally the weather here is much cooler.........  We got out fishing just 2 days this week, Sunday and Monday, and caught a total of 11 fish.  Really, really bad week.

Well - we couldn't go fishing, so we took a ride to Ogdensburg, to Buster's for dinner mid week. This is really a sports bar, as you can tell from the TV's and the decor.   I had been here a couple of years ago with Cheri Rogers ( owner of Roger's Camps), but just for lunch.  Dinner was excellent.  They have a huge salad/soup/bread bar........ Rich ordered spaghetti and meatballs/salad, and I ordered the fish fry (Haddock).  And we both ordered dessert..... Rich ordered the peanut butter pie, and I had coconut cream pie. We really ate way too much!   But it was excellent.

And a little later in the week, Rich made us a pizza!  Half/ groundbeef and pepperoni (Rich), and for me sausage and pepperoni.  As always it was perfect!

Week 7 - our last week!  Well at least we were able to get out and do some fishing.  We were out on Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday!   Total fish caught for the week - 25!  I'm not sure what happened, but of those 25 I caught THREE fish!  Bad bad week.  Just not a good year for me.  When we left for home the total fish count was 321.  Rich - 193, Donna 128..........

This week was a bit cooler than the previous, with threatening skies, strong winds 11-13 mpr and rough waters.  But we had at least ONE pretty decent sunset!

Most of the fish caught were crappie or perch, but Rich did hook on to a couple of small mouth bass.  13 1/2", and a 2 1/2 lb,17 1/2" small mouth bass.  He did a little fishing off the dock the last few days.....but only a small perch.

Friday we spent a good part of the day, packing the car.  We would be up early on Saturday, to finish up and get on the road,so it was early to bed.  We enjoyed the stay (not as much as we usually do), but I think we were both ready to head for home.  Until next year.
