FISHING WITH CHUCK
We got a few hours in on the water in the above 80 degree weather here at the lake, a summer day in May.
The fish were biting very well. Chuck caught two crappie off the dock while I loaded the boat.
We went to the First Dyke where there were fish rising and hundreds of bluegill just hovering below the surface. The fish bit fast and well. I also managed to boat two pickerel with no net. It was amazing luck really. In each case the line broke once it was in the boat and before I could unhook the fish.
I was concerned that I'd reinjure my pulled back muscle, but as I write at 5 AM I feel fine and feel rested after a tired day when I could not seem to actually sleep into my naps.
While cleaning the fish I was well entertained by kids from Jeff and Dar's house who came down and went swimming. Delightful. The water was cold, but they had a blast and complained about nothing.
I filleted a few meals for Chuck and one of whole fried fish for us along with the frozen pickerel. The cleaning went well too. I did not seem to get a backache from that.
Elizabeth and Mary had a grand time visiting and a good roasted chicken with accompanied goodies, even some stuffing. Stuffing is generally off our diet, but this was an exception. I did note that Arnold's stuffing, which I bought at Miller's, was both good and half the carbs of the others.
In the evening a weather front came in a spike a migraine. I took my last magic pill and it did the trick again. I slept easily and well and woke up refreshed. Great meds
