Headed back up to Wishon for a nice 5 day Labor Day trip. This time, Boomstick and his girlfriend, and my wife's cousin and husband joined us, as well as my Dad, but that's a given.

We got to spend some more time on the boat and get some fishing in. Unfortunately it was a full moon, which is never good at Wishon. My dad and I did manage to catch 3 each though, and my dad got a nice 16"+ holdover rainbow.

Of course there was plenty of drinking going on, good eating, and it wouldn't be a camping trip with my wife without smores.

One of the highlights for me was watching one of the resident mating Osprey pair chase off a bald eagle! I thought the Osprey's were big, but dang that bald eagle was noticeable bigger. Also saw one of the Osprey's flying back to it's nest with a fish.

My wife was sure to document her firemaking skills, so I can show them off to you guys, while we were out fishing.

But that's half of what fishing is all about. Most of those pictures were from spots I never would have gotten to if it weren't for the boat and my pursuit of a good fishing spot.


Mike, Russell, maybe next time, the invitation is always open...
