setting up the hotel Wednesday was glorious as we set up camp. Then it was on to the Budweiser, etc. Too bad we had to wait for those fishing licenses as this was probably the best day to be out fishing. future home of Taj Mahal

looking up from John's perch shame the boat's not being used? looking towards the boat launch

an out-of-body experience for Jerry The sun went down and the campfire festivities began. Yea!! Unfortunately the sun didn't shine again for a while. That didn't stop Glenn from landing 'em though. He kept a couple of nice Smallmouth. Jerry performs
a welding truck? you drank all the tequilla? "too bad we can't fish from here"
happy in the Crawdad nice huh? sushi?
removing guts He tried the bear method of eating but Hosea set him straight and the fish were filleted.

Joe relaxes by his truck as he listens to the Red Sox. Glenn cooks, John and Joey watch John harass a few perch, Joe shows us just how handy a chop saw can be, and Hosea claims his piece of wood.
