Fish on!!

 What a blast we had! The weather was not the best however we were able to spend the weekend with Carl, Johnny and Timmy.

Kay and I headed up mid day on Friday to get the rooms settled and get our boat. The timing was perfect and by the time I was back at the resort with he boat Jimmy and Billy arrived. We set out fishing and it was pretty tough going. Kay who is always amongst the top fisher people only had 1 fish, Jimmy and Billy both the goose egg, the author has not be skunked in over 3 decades, I will just leave it like that.Billy did take some awesome pics of the Sky, lake and surrondings.

Friday night we had a great dinner at the steak place in the Casino just the four of us missing Tracy. The rest of the crew whom are to many to name spent the day basically drinking so when we ran into the at the casino, Carl and his boys and us left and just chatted.

Saturday morning we were up and at em. The free breakfast go us going and the spirit of completion was in the air. Kay spent a great deal of time looking at the map and we set out for a journey across the big waters of Lake Vermillion. We had a limited time because both Jimmy and Billy had lo leave early that afternoon. Kay was on fire finally catching several nice sallies and a 26: walleye which is huge but not a keeper . Billy got on the board early, as did the author which left Jimmy the sole owner of no fish. 

We gave Billy the job of running the trolling motor and he was doing great right up until he was not paying attention and the motor knocked him in the lake, meanwhile Jimmy was deciding if he put his line in the olive well he would have a better chance. At one point he exclaimed " I will call this outing a success if I get a nibble !" Patience and being able to follow Kays lead with just a few short minutes left before we had to take the Bus back to the Resort, Jimmy yelled " Fish On" We all hooted and hollered, High 5's all around the board was full the boat happy.

Kay and I dropped off the boys we helped them pack up and they headed home. Then Kay and I had lunch took a brief nap and headed back out for the night. We caught fish laughed and I was very happy Kay stayed to fish with me. She is a trooper when it comes to fishing. She went back to the room to clean up I fillet the fish which we ended up with 2 gallon zip lock bags full of fish. Kay decided to have dinner in the room so I went out with all the Dads had dinner told stories and had a great night.

We got back in time to turn around and head over to Troy Burne for the 17th Annual Golf for the Gift. 

We as a family have been involved in this golf tournament since 2009. Kay has been volunterring for almost 10 years and loves it. Both Jimmy and Billy have helped out when they can and Jimmy was able to play this year. Tracy and I have been helping with the Board and supporting this great cause.

If that wasn't enough Father's Day came rowing in. Kay railed the family and I was shocked that they got me a Blackstone. Not only a BlackStone the 36 inch  king kong with all the accessories. In the middle of all this Billy introduced us to his new girlfriend, Juni, a lot going on here at the ol" homefront however that's how we roll .... more to come!
