Fishing

Happy first day of summer!  Since we knew it was going to be a nice day today, we decided to rent a boat off the dock at Spanaway Lake.  We still have the trolling motor and battery from the boat Jason had before the deployment, so we just needed a little boat.  At $4.25 an hour, it's not bad there at the dock!

We were on the water at about 8 this morning, and fished until just after noon.  I'm not allowed to give away Jason's fishing secrets, because as he says, "the two things you want to protect are fishing secrets and hunting spots!"  We ended up with 6 fairly good-sized trout, and I also had two that got off my hook while I was reeling them in.  There were a bunch of other bites on our lines too.  Apparently we were the first ones to catch anything this morning because the guy at the dock that we rented from said he was told we were the first to get anything... "two right off the bat".  True true...

I was smart enough to wear sunscreen on my face, but didn't think about my arms, so they're VERY red.  I guess I learned my lesson... even if it's earlier in the day, put sunscreen on everywhere!!!

Here's a few more pictures of our fishing adventures...

Jason caught 4 of these, and I caught two.  We would have tied if my other two didn't get off my hook... darn fish just want to taunt me!
