Well, our last fishing day on Fort Peck reservoir has ended...we got skunked...again...but all-in-all, it's been a really fun month and a half!
We ended up with a few Walleye, a few Northern Pike, a couple of Largemouth Bass, a Lake Trout and about 6 smallish salmon in the freezer. And we also caught a couple of Lake Trout and Carp that we gave back to the lake. And Dale caught a bait fish called a GoldenEye...we didn't keep that one either but it was kinda funny looking.
We didn't get a chance to fight any big salmon, unfortunately...but just being out on the water was really fun! The wind made for some awesome adventures...we learned that even the tiniest of bugs can show up on a boat over a mile away from the nearest shore...and they show up in droves! And boy, are they ever annoying!
We normally take the dogs fishing with us, but the bugs were so bad that we had to start leaving them home...alone...scary thought...but they were really good boys!
At least we know that we can leave them home alone if we need to...but hopefully we'll be able to take them fishing with us from now on...we like to think that they really do enjoy our company...lol.
The boat is all buttoned up and ready to be loaded onto the big trailer tomorrow...I told Dale that when we're done doing that, I want PIZZA! And not just any pizza...I want pizza from the restaurant at the Fort Peck Marina! It's the best pizza I've had in a long time! If you're ever here, you gotta get you some!
We'll load the truck on the trailer on Saturday, then take off for Wisconsin on Sunday morning...we're gonna hit the road early because it's supposed to be 100 degrees on Sunday! Yikes!
