September 11

Thank you to all of the service workers (fire, police, ems, etc) that risk their lives
everyday for all of us.


Fishing....
Postponed today's trip....group was coming a long way, and the fishing hasn't
been on fire and the forecast looked suspect.....  so of course the lake was
calmer than it has been in a week.   All reports said the bite remains tough.
I can't believe the fish have moved already.

Ended up shooting out for a couple of hours by myself mid afternoon...boated 1 5lber,
but did find a pretty good screen where I got the fish right before I had to head in.

Rolling again this morning...there's a switch....no one went today.

SO, got our pal Doug and my son, and off we went to Chautauqua Lake to try
for some perch.   Probably caught 120 fish between the 3 of us....and probably
100 of those were SMALL.   Great for Jack, though....lots of action.   Did bring
home a dozen or so perch for dinner.


Last couple charters coming up if the weather permits at week's end...but
we're hoping to keep the boat in for a few more weeks......
