I cannot go to much longer without blogging about our recent June trip to Canada.... We allowed JJ to come along he is Briana's boyfriend of four years. JJ is a natural... everything. He plays basketball well, he can pick up just about any sport and do it well. Thats why we hate him. Otherwise, he is a kind and gentle soul... thats why we love him.
So- Craig and JJ go to Gander Mountain and get fishing poles etc. We had to explain things to him cause he did not have a lot of experience in the fishing department. But remember I said he was a natural at sports? Yeah, we get to Canada out on Sturgeon Lake (no, they do not have sturgeon in this lake??) JJ makes his first cast and there on the line, a tropy walleye! He prevailed at catching a lot of nice, nice fish this two weeks that we were there!~ what the heck.
The first week was cold and we did a lot of shivering on the boat. The fish were unpredictable, and all over the place. We would try to fish for Northern and caught lake trout, out for trout and caught walleye... very confusing. Thought we were going to starve to death, but thankfully Mom (me) came to the rescue with speghetti, and oher non-canada type meals.
The second week went much better, it warmed up, Danny the fisherman of the century arrived and we finally did the traditional "normal" Canada fishing trip! The lake trout were where God intended them to be so that we could catch them and have a proper fish boil. The walleye were where they were supposed to be, so that we could deep fry them back at the cabin. So- we had to actually manage our fish so that we would not waste any... now that is more like it.
