What a whirlwind the past month or so has been. Had my 69th birthday; spent a week at the condo on the FL Panhandle with the grandkids; a week in Baton Rouge with some OLD Army buddies for our annual 4th of July fireworks extravaganza (and cirrhosis contest); then a 1500 mile drive into central Ontario for my annual walleye fishing expedition. Then the 1500 mile drive back to S GA. Ain't retirement fun!
A 40" Northern and a 31.5" walleye were the big fish for the week. Neither caught by me, darn it. I did find me a girlfriend in the wilds of Canada. I never knew that a woodchuck and a groundhog were the same critter. A few pics:
1) The grands porch fishing. Sophie is practicing with the Penn 209 reel and pier rod I got in 1959 with S&H green stamps. We caught just as many fish off the porch as we did off the pier.
2) Prepping about $1200 worth of fireworks for our 4th celebration. Note: guys with 3 fingers and an eyepatch sell the best fireworks.
3)Air Ivanhoe - Foleyet, Ont
4) Loading the Beaver
Fish pics to follow.

Part Two:
1) Cute little woodchuck. Loves sliced bread
2) 40" Northern
3) 31.5" Walleve
4) Gang of Eight. We caught over 2100 walleye in a week. That's a new record for the 12 years I've been going up there.
Nice fishy !
As Grandpa used to say,
" No money better spent than on blowing things up on the Fourth of July ."
That looks like a fun trip and some very nice fish ;D
Good report Mike thanks for showing us, cheers Don.
Great report Mike!
Thanks for taking us along. ;)
I must be dense, or at least somewhat computer illiterate. I can't figure out how to download a group of pics (I'm limited to 4 at the time) then write a brief description under each one. Once I download pics, I can't even preview them until I post them and view them on the website. Anybody else have that problem? The grandkids could probably figure it out in short order.

Wow, Peaches, you had a great month! I want to be like you when I grow up!

Not to worry...you will NEVER grow up!

Thank god! I never want to lose that joy in life and become cynical and bitter... oh wait, it may be too late! Fortunately, I still get excited when I get a bite.

Mike.
If you choose to use the onsite picture posting. You can't put a description under each pic.
You can only do that if you are using an offsite picture program like Flickr or the like.
That is all I know about that.
