Fish on!

Today was a chamber of commerce day. If this place had a chamber of commerce, there are so few things around here that who knows what town are we in. Not too much wind, very pretty skies and just a great temperature. It started slow in the fish department, and it took me almost 3 hours to get my first fish. It was a good thing the weather was so nice because if not it really would not have been fun waiting 3 hours to catch a fish.

the first fish -- Lunch.

The coolest part about today was the “shore lunch.” This morning we were spending all of our time catching walleye for our lunch. We caught four nice walleye that we saved for lunch. The others we just threw back for the next time we needed them. Around noon we found a spot on the lake for lunch. We docked our boats and got out and made some lunch. It was camp potatoes, beans, corn and fired fish. It was very good and very relaxing. I am glad that I caught one of the fish that we ate because I would have felt bad eating had I not caught any fish. Bob, our guide said that tomorrow’s shore lunch is going to be even better because of what he is planning on making. Bob is the guy that is holding all of the fish in the pictures. Once lunch was over we fished for about 4 more hours and only caught a couple more fish. It was a very pleasant day and we had a good time. Sitting in a boat for 8 hours can be exhausting though. I am going to try and stay up a little later tonight. Hopefully get some ready done and listen to some more podcasts. I will let you know how it all shakes out. More to come.

That is shore lunch.
Peace out.

Bob looks like he has some good stories. I'm sure you are getting to hear all of them.
