Fishing With Dad

Well we went out this morning and they didn't bite. Went to Traverse City and ate dinner at Olive Garden then went out fishing this evening and dad got 1. I had 1 on and broke him off.I guess I need lessens on how to fight them. Or maybe it was just to big to land. LOL. Here's a pic of dads and one I got the other day.

Mom and Dad Visiting

5th Wheel after being fixed

Here's a couple of pics of the repaired 5th wheel. The compartment door is alot bigger now. Makes access easier now. I like it alot better.

I'm Back

It's been a while since I posted. I guess it's called laziness. It's not because I have had to work to long or hard.
We have our 5th wheel repaired from the suicidal deer accident. American RV did an excellent job on it. Will post pics tomorrow.
Mom and dad came here Tuesday afternoon. I helped dad clean their truck and 5th wheel today. Looks lots better with all the road grime off. Denise took her Dyson vacuum over and did their carpet for them. Dad and I went fishing for a while today and didn't do any good. The feds poisoned the river to kill the lamprey eels and it gave the salmon lock jaw I guess. Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Hopefully they will start biting in the next day or two.
Denise has started helping the Matson's in the store and cleaning the cabins. So far she is enjoying it.
Well that's all for now. Will post some pics tomorrow.

First Salmon 2009

July 19, 2009 is very early for salmon on the big Manistee River, but with this crazy cold weather we've been having I decided to try my luck. Water temp. was 62 degrees and sky was sunny.I was throwing a Thunder Stick Jr. and hoping for a walleye with a slight chance of a salmon. It was my lucky day after about 1/2 hour of fishing something big rolled so I kept casting in that area. After about 10 cast she hit. What a adrenilan rush, I knew it was a salmon. After 5 minutes of fighting and praying I landed her. LIFE IS GOOD!!!

The Christening

The Matson's brought down a bottle of champain and we christened the deck. Always fun at Matson's.

Deck Complete

Here is some pics of the finished product.
