Things have been real crazy with the kids activities this summer so this was the first weekend we were able to sneak away to the cabin. Its 350 miles to get there and then you have to wait for a ferry to take you there so its not easy to just go there on a short weekend. We did all of our hunting this trip in kayaks and skipped the shores since those are getting pretty picked over. I hope you enjoy a few pics from the trip.
heading out
rocky shoal we did some hunting on
water is super clear to about 10 feet. We took a scrub brush on a 6 ft pole to clean them up a bit. you can see the difference on the couple in this photo after scrubbing. this is water 3 ft deep too.
sometimes you get lucky and they are already visible but this one is probably over 100 pounds and we left it there (till next time)
getting ready to load the kayak
I always put a least one 60-80 pounder up front with me and the rest go in the storage areas.
Here's the total after three trips out in the kayaks
And this one rock made all three trips worth it for me. I could not get this one on my first trip and had to take a 6 ft 40 pound pry bar to get the surrounding rocks off of it. To make it worse it was in water just deep enough to be a real pain in the butt.
And of course you gotta have a way to get those heavy rocks back to the cabin ....
and just one fun picture of the youngest one playing in the trails
Thanks for looking!
