July 15 2008-Mermaids in Muskoka

Today I went fishing with my friend Heather and her daughter Sheryl. ( Happy 19 th Birthday Sheryl ) We started the morning off with a 14 1/4 inch ( 1.8 lb ) Smallmouth Bass. Then Sheryl caught this 26 1/2 inch ( 4 lb 6 oz ) Pike. This is Sheryl's largest Pike ever!
We also caught several minnow size Perch.

Heather managed to catch a too small to measure Bass.
What's this? A Mermaid in Muskoka?

I managed to get a lure caught around the prop of the motor & Sheryl (who just happened to have a swim mask & fins ) jumped in and rescued it.

We had a great day. We caught 3 Smallmouth Bass, 5 little Perch, and 1 Pike!
