Fishing[kinda/sorta]

[pitw]

  Most [or some] of you know I was fishing [kinda/sorta] last weekend and I thought I'd show some pics of the experience.  We were not on a house boat this time as Jim had said but in a cabin that had a toilet, kitchen, door[that was a bonus ], fire pit and an outside toilet for a neighbor that gave me many  .  Before we left the kids [Mandy, Bob and Don] had to put this on the boat for more ease of access for them[They wanted it so I bought it and they installed it].


On the 3 hour drive to the lake we passed this family and had to stop for a pic.


They were a mite shy.


Bob, Don and I got to the lake by 1pm and by 2pm and three cast's later Don had his first ever Walleye




After a long time fishing in the blazing heat.


about 27 minutes the boys thought they should play football.








Then the wife and Mandy showed up so I had another spotter in the boat so we could do this nonsense[I burnt up 140 litres of petrol and it sure wasn't all in fishing]






She had good air time before we found her like this.


This fella even applauded her dismount.


This rodent was just getting the [L] out of the dodge ball game.


And thus the day ended.


Next morning started off with a splash too.


A 10lb 36" Pike tried stealing my little pickerel jig.




Even the wife got in the action and Don was using my new Birthday present from the Dog dropper to help her.


Then it was off to the cleaning table to prepare supper.


Before we went out and Bob tried using this "50" year old knee board


He made her up on his first try and his grin was enough to make the heaviest heart see light


Then just to show that I ain't much of a fisherman an older couple in a rental boat came in with this fella.


He was 18lbs and a dang nice fish.
I'll probably tell some stories of what went on up there to keep me amused later but I got to go to Edmonton today so Bob can be with his baseball to team to watch the Edmonton Capitals play a game at 7pm[Wilma, Don and I are going to watch too ].  Oh yeah in case you never heard of this team some of you might like their old manager.       http://www.queerty.com/calling-gay-umpire-fing-faggot-wont-get-him-to-side-with-edmonton-capitals-manager-brent-bowers-20100807/


Then we spend a day with the boys Grand parents .

And CCP if I find anything in my pictures like extra fingers I'll be forced to show you how much the surgery costs to remove a computer from your anus .

It looks like everyone had a great time.      I see you strategically placed yourself in the pic with the fish.      But the hat was a dead give-away.

Nice fish Barry. Looks like a great time with the family. A bit chilly for swimming in my book, but it appears the kids didn't mind. Thanks for sharing.
