Successful Fishing

Jack, Kyle, and I went out on a charter boat for a morning fishing expedition. It was his first adventure on the ocean and he did very well. The ocean was flat so no one got sea sick and Jack quickly got his sea legs under him in the gentle swells. We all entered the on board contest for the biggest rock cod but we came in third place. Jack did catch the most fish of anyone and did a fine job of reeling them in, one after another, and once two at one time.

Next year if we get a flat day on the ocean Andy and Josh will have to go with us.

Almost a salty dog...

I was downloading images from my digital camera and found this from a fishing trip this past fall. Ripley went for a ride and is seen here on board the Prandall. At the present Strawberry Reservoir is hosting ice fisherman and the ice is a couple feet thick.

Can't wait for the spring thaw to come and return there to catch more of those 'Cutts'.

A bad day fishing is better than the best day at work...

My children's mother and I went fishing on Tuesday to Red Fleet Reservoir, about 10 miles north of Vernal. It is is small lake and a replica of Lake Powell with its Navajo sandstone. We launched the Prandall about 10:00 AM and had the entire lake to ourselves. Not another boat anywhere. We toured the lake and then threw the lines over. RA had a worm on a hook and I tried an artificial lure. I had a strike and started reeling in but it got away. She had a nice rainbow trout which did not get away. I think she has those great Grandpa Dunn genes for catching fish.

For dinner we cooked it up along with corn on the cob and fresh garden tomatoes.

We will go again.
