Awesome Weekend Camping

We had a great time camping at Charleston Lake with my parents, Dan & Amanda, and Glen and kids. We did a lot all togeather which was a lot of fun. We swam off the rocks, cliff jumped, swam off the boat, went for boat rides, hiked, fished for bass and lake trout, ate togeather and had a camp fire every night.

Here's James and David flexing their bones....

A break during a hike...the angry pose!

We caught a lot of 4lb bass which was a blast.

We went downrigging for lakers one morning. We only got one but it was a nice one.

Dan cliff diving!! Check the video!

Everybody is dead tired today and in bed early.

Back from the Cottage

Although the weather was kinda cool, cloudy and a little rainy we had a great family week at the cottage in Temiscaming. We love this cottage. One morning I snuck up on Leigh as she was having her morning quiet time on the dock.

The fishing was great. Even though we weren't able to fish as much as other years due to the weather; this year we hooked into over 50 Walleye and landed 47! Many were in the 4-5 lb range. Everybody reeled in fish.







Can't wait to go back!

Ouch!

Thanks to a scrappy pike I got a fish hook right through my thumb. It's kinda blurry but here's a picture.

Thanks for the doctor and nurse at Temiscaming hospital for the quick and relatively painless removal.

Out of Bronte with Joel and Steven

Finally we didn't get skunked with the Wiersma boys in the boat. We went out from 6:15 till about 8:30 tonight. 4/4 but just one decent sized one. Steven reeled it in and actually held it! This fish came on the NBK spoon 50 over 135.
