Sept 12 2012-Boobies Make Me Smile

After our stay at Deerhurst Resort, I put on my new T-shirt (Joanne gave this to me for our anniversary) to go fishing with Daryl and Lian one last time before they head back to Edmonton! Boobies make me Smile!

Must be a lucky shirt because I caught this nice plump 4 lb Smallmouth Bass. Boobies make me Smile!

Lian caught a fish too! A cute little Perch!

Great shot of Joanne's flying Bass. The fish is live releasing itself. Off the hook and back in the lake.

After an afternoon of fishing, it's off to The Old Station Restaurant for a meal. Boobies make me Smile!

Sept 11 2012-Deerhurst Resort

It is our second wedding anniversary and we wish to thank all of you who contributed to this gift certificate on our wedding day. The resort was outstanding, great food and great accommodations!

Chilled wine and chocolate covered strawberries to greet us on the coffee table. We ate all the strawberries and passed on the wine.

Amazing kitchen which we never used.

Amazing living room which we never used.

Amazing whirlpool tub which we did use. We had a great weekend. Thanks everyone!

Sept 3 2012-Pike Caught Twice

This is Joanne's Pike. As you can see, there is a leader hanging out the Pike's mouth. This is not our leader, this Pike was caught once before!

After removing all the hardware, we live released the fish to be caught again. ( a third time maybe? ) Nice Pike Joanne!

After all the hard work, Joanne decided to cool off and have a swim.

It looks like my home made swim ladder makes it a lot easier to get out of the water and back onto the boat.

After a swim, Joanne caught this cute little Bass.

Aug 29 2012-Daryl's First Bass On The Walkabout!

Daryl and Lian joined us this morning for day of fishing and Daryl caught his first Bass on the Walkabout!

And a nice Bass it was!

Where there is one, there must be another.

And there was! A cute little Perch!

This a picture of Daryl and I looking at the one that got away. I caught a huge Pike ( 18 to 20 lb ) and just as Daryl was lifting the fish into the boat, it ripped through the net and was gone. It was the biggest Pike that Daryl has ever seen. At least it is back in the water and ready to be caught another day!

Aug 28 2012-Brad, Judith, and Aiden

Brad, Judith, and Aiden came up to Muskoka for a day to fish, have a picnic, and go for a swim. Brad managed to catch the first Bass of the day!

I caught this nice Bass shortly after Brad.

Time for a picnic and take a few pictures!

Aiden goes for his first swim in Lake Muskoka, and he had a great time!

A cute picture of Aiden getting up close and personal with his first encounter with a little Perch. We had great weather and a great day!

Aug 26 2012-3 Hour Cruise

After a fabulous breakfast at Patterson-Kaye Lodge, we headed back to the Marina to pick up Diane and Floyd for a 3 hour cruise!

We did a little sight seeing.

We caught a little fish!

And of course the girls went for a little swim!

Aug 26 2012-Breakfast at P.K. Lodge

Today we are going to Patterson-Kaye Lodge for a buffet breakfast on the patio!

We parked the boat at their dock. The water level is so low, the boat is actually on the bottom!

Breakfast is served!

Our view looking towards the George Road public boat launch! Great meal, and now back to Allport Marina to pick up Diane and Floyd for a 3 hour cruise!

Aug 23 2012-Hi Udo

It is a warm but breezy day and Joanne catches the first Perch of the day.

If Joanne can catch a small perch, then I can catch a small Bass!

That's better, a nice Pike!

If I can catch a nice Pike, then Joanne can catch a nice Bass.

We were fishing near to where Udo was painting a cottage. Hi Udo!

Aug 21 2012-Tegan's First Fish-Part 1

We are gathered here for Tegan's annual fishing trip on the "Walkabout"

Joanne catches the first fish of the day!

Tegan giving the fish a goodbye kiss so it will grow bigger and bite again!

At the dock on Eilean Gowan Island for a Pee, Lunch, and a Swim.

Great picnic lunch, and now for a swim.

Aug 21 2012-Tegan's First Fish-Part 2

After lunch Tegan sat at the end of the dock and checked the water temperature.

Water is warm enough for a quick swim

Tegan's first fish!

Tegan caught this Bass all by herself. I'm not sure who was more excited! She caught it using a "Bomber"

Joanne finished the day off with another small Bass. She caught this one all by herself as well. Great day, Great fun!
