Hurricane Lake Part Deux




the lake



Lou and I spent the whole day fishing. We left home at 6:30 AM and got home at 6 PM. I hauled the rowboat with us on the trailer and we trolled and fished Hurricane Lake all day. The lake is a nice natural get-away. All day we were dodging turtles and ducks. We could hear bullfrogs bellowing periodically and we heard a very loud noisy bird several times but never saw what it was. In addition to the relaxing setting we also caught (and released) some fish.






the boat



Lou and I caught 3 apiece. I caught a bream, bluegill and bass (and lost 2 other bass). Lou caught 3 bass. We caught, we photographed, we released.



























the fish



We caught 5 of the 6 fish after 2 o’clock and lost track of the time. We were still on the water at 4:30 and the lake is an hour drive from home. To make matters worse there is no cell phone service out there so I couldn’t tell Penny we were OK and not to worry. Penny was not happy—she got worried.

After sitting in the little boat all day both of us were sore and beat. I’m just not as young and flexible as I used to be. Lou has 7 years and some additional pounds on me so he was very stiff by the time we got home. He enjoyed the day and thanked me for taking him.

I went to bed at 9 o’clock and fell asleep right away.
