Michael and I went fishing TWICE in four days! Now that we have a new trolling motor (so cool), fishing is a breeze. Catching is another thing altogether. "That's why they call it fishing, not catching." (michael myers). Nonetheless, we had a lot of action. On the first afternoon, we caught a few 15 inch + bass, a few crappies, and several northern.
Last night, we went out after dinner and fished until sunset 9:00 p.m. Bass were jumping for bugs all around us, but we couldn't coax them to attack our lures. Wished we had a fly fishing rod along. For some reason, the northern were attracted to my bait -- I caught three of them, one of notable size. There are several advantages to being a girl, and one of them is having the option to not remove a northern from my lure! Michael gets to play the he-man and grab the "snake" with his bare hands and deftly take over the hook removal.
Another interesting wildlife sighting this morning -- three snapping turtles laying their eggs in the sand along the roadside in Natural Lakes just across from Curt's cabin. I would've taken a picture, but didn't want to disturb mama turtle in here struggle to propagate.
