No Fish for Me

     Well today was a leisure day with laundry, some fishing by the damn and continual drinking of my blood by the mosquito's and horse fly's. I was bitten by a horse fly so hard it drew blood and I'd swear that I heard it laughing at me as it flew off. I got the last laugh when I chased it with my hat and smacked it out of the sky and finishing it off with a size 11 1/2 shoe. Take that you little Son Of A!!!!!

     I took Jacob over to the bait shop here at the lake and we got some minnows so we could try our luck at catching some Walleye for dinner. Jacob learned how to hook a minnow and jig it off the bottom as we both lost a bunch of them in the rocks. I am a pretty damn good fly fisherman but this Walleye fishing as got me stumped, not one bit all day long except for the sadistic horse fly. Oh was Laura disappointed in my fishing prowess today, I felt like less of a man by not being able to bring home some food. I think I am going to find some Walleye fillets in the grocery store tomorrow and hide them in the freezer and take them out when I am done fishing.

     Jacob and I started reading the Lord of the Rings series and have started with The Hobbit and Laura and Aiden are working on the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. We are off to Brainerd Minnesota to meet another Full Time Family for a night before heading off to Wisconsin to see Wisconsin Dells, Madison and maybe a couple other areas and we will be trying our first Thousand Trails resort. I will have more pictures and hopefully I will have caught a dang Walleye before I leave Minnesota.
