Another boat! We're weren't the only kooks!Just in case the storms did come, we decided to go out this morning ... this morning being 10:00 AM, so for morning fishing, we were late. The skies were gray and the wind was up, but the temperature was comfortable.
Actually we did go out for a quick first fishing trip this past Friday. I caught my first Muskie. He put up a good fight, but I have to admit it was a baby. It was about 30" and weighed about 6 pounds. I took a picture with my phone camera, but it didn't save.
Today, my new pole, "The Green Goddess" ... yes I name my poles, remember "PINK"? (may she rest in peace) caught a Rock Bass, Pumpkin Seed (looked like an orange Blue Gill to me), and a White Bass. Nothing we'd keep, but fun to reel in. Don caught three Rock Bass.
"The Green Goddess"
We only stayed out a couple hours because the storms were heading our way.
So the beginning of our summer has started!

Congratulations, sounds like your off to a great start!!
What is the point of your blog anymore? I don't get it.
Mark, I mean Anonymous ... what's the point of you stalking me and leaving stupid comments? I don't get it.
I can always count on your blog to have some sort of nautical theme. While you don't impress me as a fly fisherman......have you evern seen 'A River Runs Through It'....it is about fishing....and it has Brad Pitt!!!
Yes Bruce, I have seen that great movie. (and not because Brad is in it)
My sister's b'friend is a fly fisherman, more so a writer of articles for sports magazines about fly fishing ... so he does lots of "research", ;)
He also makes his own flies ... so beautiful, I'd rather use them as earrings!
Three cheers to summer, and I admire your courage when you get out there and weather the rough weather and water. A good metaphor for life and the adventures that await!
