It’s going to be another wonderful day on the hard deck.  Fishing with Edjukateer and the Weasel.  Going to meet “the other guy” on the deck as well.  And of course it is going to be a day at Rockport trying to land one of the coveted tagged finned bad boys.  A report will follow later today.

Report: (the following day)

I could not report the days events last night..We had a date night…

Fishing was fun, as usual, I only caught 2 and lost about 14 quarters to the Weasel, Edjukateer and “the other guy”.  My bait just was not what they wanted, even though it was the same bait, out of the same jar as the others were using…go figure!  It was a great day none the less.

A beautiful sunrise:

Nice Solid ice cap.  You can tell that by the way the shoreline looks.  The expanding ice pushes everything else up and away from the center of the lake.

It was a beautiful sunny, cloudless sky, warm temps for the time of year and good company.  Who could ask for more?

Also, we got to try out the latest of inventions (copied but never duplicated, or course)…I call it the Butts  “lazy lipper” and it has a long way to go!  I’m hoping others who know about it will modify it and make it a lipper that works every time!

Here is a short video on how this contraption works.  The spokesperson works for an unknown company out of state, so don’t think he is someone you might know.

And of course, “the contest”,  well it’s not exactly a “contest”, they call it a “challenge”….catch a tagged trout and win a prize associated with the number on the tag and you could win one of these lovely prizes!  Good luck to all.

All of them are great prizes!  Thank to all the sponsors!

Until next time!  Enjoy!  Get outside and enjoy this sunny winter of ours.
