Here is a picture of Strawberry Bay. We spent a lot of time there this, mostly just fishing. We did spend a weekend there with Daryl's parents at the beginning of August and rented a pontoon boat. It was a blast!!! We rented a pontoon boat for two days and had some pretty exciting adventures.
The first morning we went out, it was really really cold!!! But the fish were a bitin'! I jokingly told my father in law that I would be the first to catch a fish that day. Funny thing, I was. We had probably been sitting in one spot for about ten minutes when I got my first bite! YEE HAW!!! I was so excited I was yelling for Daryl to come and help me. I did get that ugly bugger up on the boat and he wasn't big enough to keep but I was pretty darn proud of myself for catching the first fish.
So after we put him back in the water, I jokingly said that I was going to catch the second fish, what do you know, I did. This one was smaller than the first, but I still caught the first two fish. GO ME!!!! So of course, everyone else wanted to move spots because they weren't getting fish. I'm kidding, we decided to move and we hit a hot spot.
We were sitting there chatting, having a good time when all of a sudden Daryl's Dad's pole started jerking. SO he hurried to his pole, then about ten seconds later, suddenly my pole starts jerking. So I ran to my pole and wouldn't you know it, a few seconds later, Daryl's Mom's pole started jerking. So we're all trying to reel in our catches, yelling at Daryl for help, and poor Daryl is running around trying to help us. Sadly he didn't get a fishy then. But his parents both got awesome keepers and later on would eat them. Good job parents!!!!
By the end of the day, between the four of us, we caught a total of ten fish. Four of them, were mine thank you very much. I was pretty proud of myself. So Daryl decided to take a swim in the lake, crazy bugger. It was really cold, but nice and clear. I've added a picture for you all. Yeah he looks a little cold.
The following day we went out again and this time my parents, my brother, and our friend Yusef all came up to join us on the boat. It was a lot of fun. We did more touring around the lake than fishing, but it was gorgeous. We were looking for a black bear that had been spotted a few days before, never did find him though. I don't know if thats a good thing or a bad thing. Oh well. Sadly our day was cut short by a really big storm that decided to roll in.
I get a little nervous out on lakes because I'm just that way. I kept watching these clouds coming and going, we should probably head back in. I repeated it severaly times and I know I was driving people crazy. Finally they happened to listen to me and its a good thing too. We found out later that one pontoon boat was stranded out in the lake during the storm and the waves weren't small either. Also, when we came into dock, our boat died right as we got to the docks and so we may have been stranded out there if we hadn't come back in. Yes I know, I'm the smart one, what can I say. :) Although, I wish I was a little more adventurous, but I'm just a pansy. :) But while we were out there, we did have a lot of fun. I'm adding a picture of the storm clouds looming towards us and you decide whether or not I was right in wanting to hurry back in. :)
Thats pretty much all that I have about that story. Not as funny as my combine story, but still a good story. :) I'll be posting another blog soon enough!!!! See ya then!!!
