Oct. 14: Much more striper fishing

Well, I made up for not getting any fish two days ago. You can see from the picture that our catch today was much better. We now have 4 to 5 meals in the freezer. We were fishing before a weather front came in and in a light fog from about 8 am to 11 am. The big one was 21 1/2". Your total catch can be 10 fish but only 2 of them can be over 21". In case a game warden is looking at this, one of those fish in front of me belongs to someone else. Larry finally landed 3 today but he was a late bloomer. We'd fished for about 2 hours before he finally caught any. We threw back half dozen.

I found out that stiper fishing consists of looking for the birds working the water where the shad are breaking the surface and running for their lives. It's almost like we come to their rescue by catching those big fish that are chasing them and running off the birds. There were enough fish caught that I got a cleaning lesson and jumped right in. It was a really fun day.

Good Day for Lynn!!!

Larry....Not so much!!!

Last night we drove over to Kenny & Virginia's camp ground and I brought all the stuff for cooking Tonka Pies or some people call them fried pies. We cooked apple and cherry and cut them in half to serve all 14 of us. The out of focus picture shows most of the group--a few of the ladies got cut off and three of us were doing the cooking.






Tonight we're doing our own campfire if it doesn't rain and just hanging out at camp. Tomorrow it's suppose to be raining so we'll probably do laundry and later watch the debate.
