I don't think we'll experience this again in our lifetime:
a) Seeing both ends of a rainbow
b) Hooking 2 fish simultaneously while it was pouring
In one of the photos below with the rainbow you can see my fishing rod. I actually had a fish on at this time.
Sam landed 2 and Kevin landed 4 for the weekend. It was quite funny watching Kevin drop the trout in the boat as he tried to hold it! Sonya and Felix the Cat chillaxed most of the time in the cottage. I ate so much that I'm busting at the gut. Thanks for coming up guys! At 8:30pm baitfish were surfacing like crazy and I kept trolling the same spot and got 3 in a row within a 20 minute period.
One of the fish (below) was hooked in the gill and was bleeding, however after a few minutes in the water the bleeding stopped. I contemplated keeping him as it took a long time to revive him. He swam away slowly as Kevin reassured me that "humans aren't the only ones with anti-coagulants". If you zoom into the photo you can see a drop of blood in the underside of his gills. I hope he makes it.
I've been checking our septic holding tank constantly for the last few trips as the float switch got stuck a few weeks back. Unfortunately it got stuck again so I connected the pump directly to the line and we'll have to use the breaker from now on to activate it. A little inconvenient, but at least we have control over when it pumps and when it doesn't. Kev, Sam and I took turns operating the breaker.
Had a conversation with Mike, our neighbor. I gave him my contact info in case he needs something at the cottage as we are up much more often than they are. Overall the weekend wasn't all that busy compared to last year, a few boats here and there. Here are some shots of us in the boat and in and around the cottage. Kev successfully wielded an 8-lb maul and cracked open some firewood for us to use, as it was quite chilly.
Oh, and the 1st bass of 2007!
