Fishing

On August 10, 2010 Brian and I took Dad fishing to Stuart Lake.  We stayed in a 2 bedroom motel at the Pitka Bay Resort.  We had wonderful weather for the 4 days we were there.  There was only one problem though, the lake was too rough to go out on for the first 3 days. 

Getting Dad on the Boat
Well ... it was interesting getting Dad on our 24 foot Bayliner.  You have to give Dad credit, he put his trust in Brian and I to get him on the boat.  He was very brave.  We took Dad down to the dock in the wheelchair.  To get him down a 2 foot drop to the lower dock we had a "two-step" step stool with us.  Once we got Dad by the boat he had to get on the boat!  With the dock and the boat moving it was interesting but he did it!

Brian was able to take Dad out for a few hours on the Thursday night and Dad caught two baby fish so he let them go (thanks, Dad).

On the Friday all three of us went fishing for 5 hours!  Brian was the only one to catch a fish on Friday but it was fun nonetheless.  We plan to go fishing on the September long weekend, maybe we will all catch a fish then!

Oh yeah, when we were out on the Friday, Dad just about got sun stroke thanks to Brian and I.  We will be more careful next time!  Sorry Dad!
