Camping and Fishing

My Husband and I spent 3 days at a Fishing Lake. We had to try out our new little camper. You will notice I love Sun sets and Sun rises. This picture is of the Sun set at the edge of the lake from our camp site. Our van camper was small but way better then a tent like we had been using. It is dry, has everything in it we need. It was great when the storms rolled over. We could comfortably sit and read, visit or listen to the radio. It also was great for making the meals. The little fridge and stove work nicely.

We had just gotten back from several hours on the Lake fishing. We enjoyed the fishing but we certainly didn't catch as many keepers as we would have liked. We especially wanted to get a nice catch of Walleye to take to my father who loves Walleye. He has always been a way better fisherman then we are and had better luck with the big one's. He is now close to 89 years old and is not able to do much fishing. I caught the first fish, which I always enjoy, a Walleye' but it was between that 15 inch and 18 inch size where we had to release it. It still was fun to catch. We caught far to many Walleye in that "RELEASE" category.
You can see my husband and our Dog on this picture. Our dog loved camping and made himself right at home in the van camper. He also loved to wonder around the camp site.
This is a picture taken from the boat while on the lake. The Sun was just starting to go down and looked so pretty shining through the clouds.

Another Sun Set picture from the Lake.

This is the Sun rise early this morning. About 5:30 AM

This was just before we put the boat on the lake. Minutes later it got so very foggy we could

only see a few feet in front of us. It is a weird feeling on a big lake and no idea where you are at. We did travel very slow and close enough to the bank that we had some idea.

We could hear this boat and the 4 lively young fishermen far before we could see them due to the dense fog on the lake. They had caught a few fish and were very excited. Turned out they were also the size that had to be released. They had also caught a few big carp which also created a frenzy of excitement.

This picture is after the fog had lifted. This is what we call Bird Island but actually on the Lake map it is called Whiskey Island. There are thousands of Sea Gulls, ducks, geese, cranes and even big white storks. This Island is where we were heading in the fog and we could tell by the loud screeches of the Sea Gulls when we were getting close.

Here is a picture of our small camper van and tarp'ed boat early in the morning.

By the way, we did catch a few keeper fish, Walleye and Bass.

We had fresh fried fish for supper.
