This is where all the bugs are.....
The fish are good at hiding.....
The bbq still does taste delicious.......
All things said I am having a relaxing time with the MRS. I haven’t had many great cooks to post, a bit of booze keeps getting in the way.
That and all easy cooks so far...sausages Saturday, steak on Sunday and chicken thighs last night.
Still have great cuts to cook, picahna and ribs are still in the freezer. Smoked chops tonight with beans and maybe a salad.
Caught a few fish, but only been out in the mornings so far.....apparently it’s not cool to consume alcohol and operate a boat.....
This tends to interfere with my afternoon fishing plans.
All jokes aside, we get out for 5 or 6 hours in the morning so it’s been great.
No pickerel (walleye) yet.....which is funny because I am staying on pickerel river....
I know where they are but haven’t landed any.....also it would seem like I am not a very good fisherman.
Caught a handful of sport fish, largemouth bass and pike have been good, and good size too.
All the fish pics are on the wife’s phone, may get to post those at the end of the week.
So all I have is strip steaks and sides on file to show, I will try to get a few more dinners posted.
Oh yeah....the bugs, different pests for different times of the year.
We missed black flies thankfully but around 8pm the mosquitoes come in so thick it changes the colour of the sky.
Not literally but I got the food inside last night and looked at the bbq and there must have been about 30 around it.
Then there are the horseflies......
And these little bastards get you while on the boat and they chase the boat while you drive away.....cannot outrun them.
Fortunately they are pretty easy to kill.
Triangle looking flies that take hunks of flesh and makes you swell up pretty good for each bite.
I think I got bit over 15 times this morning....
I am on reactine and Benadryl......lol.
Thanks for looking, chops are thawed and hopefully ribs tomorrow and picahna for Thursday.
