Day 2

DAY 2........................... This day saw us uproot our current site to the correct one, luckily on the same lake so the operation was quick and painless.+ We simply dismantled everything into large pieces and saved ourselves some time and energy buy transporting the site using Jeremy's boat. The alternate site included a large dock which normally would not be there as the docks were damaged during a severe storm and had to be towed inland to this lake for repairs, lucky us!
Once our campsite was reassembled it was time to get to the best part of the trip.......fishing! The fishing poles were set with hooks and jigs, boats were loaded and boarded. In the past we've had little luck in catching fish, not because we are novices or lack the experience found in the likes of Roland Martin or Kaia Larsen, we've just had a run of bad luck. Ok, so it's been about 3 or 4 years of bad luck. That finally changed on this trip.
It took a few days and several bushwhacking routes but we can proudly raise our heads again stop snapping our rods in rage, good thing because it was getting expensive. Matt caught a bass (quickly released as it was not in season) and several other indigenous water dwellers! It would have been nice to catch the delicious pickerel; unfortunately they were just as elusive. We spent the day in the sun and enjoyed the great weather and good food we brought along.
A quick apology to the gang for the noodle mishap once again, so sorry. Let us never speak of it again. The sun set upon us and another day was retired t o our memories.
