Back from Moosejaw, Saskatchewan

Leigh and I had a little mini vacation in the very exciting city of Moosejaw Saskatchewan. We surprised her brother Mike and showed up for his 30th birthday party (and then stayed for 3 more days). It was a good time. It was good to spend some time, just the two of us.

It was also great to re-connect with our nephews Carter and Cole and our niece Jenna - we hadn't seen them in over 2 years...they are such good kids and we did a lot with them and really bonded.

Carter loves sports and we played plenty of it during our visit.

Little Cole is so cute and Jenna is a mini Sarah. Leigh really connected with them both.

We also had a nice lunch in Calgary with Leigh's cousin Cam and Aufal. It was a trip that was defininately worth the time and money. Thanks Mike and Karlene. We're already planning the next one....

Firecracker Day

Victoria day is always a favourite day for the kids. Tonight we went with Bruce and Tammy and their kids to Valley Park. As usual it was a good show and everyone had a great time.

I experimented taking pictures of the fireworks. Some of them turned out ok...

Salmon Fishing with the Kapteyns

David and I went out of Port Dalhousie with Rob and Nathan Kapteyn. The boys played hookey from school and we had the day off. The lake was calm, the weather was beautiful and we found the salmon! Went 7 for 9 in about 5 hours of trolling.

The fish were in 230-280 FOW in the top 60 feet pretty much straight out of Port D. NBK, Clown and Green frog were the hottest spoons. Dipsey/Spin doctor/white fly took a nice one too.

Here's a couple pictures.



It was a fun morning.

2007 Salmon Slammin' Invitational

I fished a Salmon tournament out of St. Catharines today with Dave and Lenny. It was fun but the Salmon fishing was REALLY tough! We got 9 fish but they were all Lake Trout. Here's some pics.


It was our first time on the water this year and the weather was great so it was a good day anyways.
