It's going to be in the 90s this weekend, and yesterday (my day off) was the last cool day of the upper 60s. So we went fishing after 5. The water was slightly high from the rain we had with thunderstorms. I actually took Joe's suggestions on the lures for the water condition. I finally caught a keeper trout that didn't get away! It was a 15 1/4" brown (in the photo the fish is very much alive, as my awkward smile can tell).
It was a very good evening fishing. We caught quite a few fish of all sizes and trout types. Better yet, I outfished Joe!! Maybe he was being nice to me.
We are planning to have plenty of beach time this weekend. TGIF to everyone!
P.S. Probably less beach time... thunder showers are now predicted all weekend :(
August is just around the corner... and yet we still have lots of unknowns. We are fortunate to have enough normalcy in our daily lives to stay sane. Last week we celebrated the limited but safe reopening of our favorite restaurant with tropical drinks. Takeout just isn't the same.
And last Sunday was the Lake Superior Day... though I had to work all weekend, we picked up a sub sandwich to eat by the lake after work. We enjoyed a dramatic sky between storm systems.
The 4th of July has come and gone without a usual proper firework display at the harbor. I had to work anyway, but we had the 3rd off together. And it's been hot... upper 80s. So we went fishing early. Joe was rewarded with a very nice 21" brown trout!
We had a bit of beach time later in the day, too.
A few of our neighbors hosted a garage/ driveway party on the 4th. By the time we joined after work and the outdoor temperature to cool a little, most of them were quite well-marinated. But we stayed to watch their impressive firework display, and it was fun.
And on Monday I made sushi rolls with the fish Joe caught the other day. Hope everyone is having some summer fun.
