I'm back!
Was away for the weekend (May 24) on a fishing trip to the Northlands, about an hour west of Timmins Northlands. The Northlands where I woke up to snow falling on my tent on Sunday morning. Snow that kept on falling for the rest of the entire day. But I wasn't cold, no, I was prepared. Yes, I was wearing almost every item of clothing that I took up (layers, the secret to warmth - that and no jeans - thank you Vania). We had about 5 hours of sunshine all weekend, welcomed sunshine, when it came. The rest was either rain or snow - and the cold to go with both. However, I never once was cold or wet, that's right not once. Okay, I'm repeating myself, but trust me, that was a big deal for me.
We did catch lots of fish. If you're a nature lover and believe this is an evil activity STOP NOW! There was six of us that went and each of us caught over 10 fish. We brought back 40 pounds of fish or so.
I caught the largest fish, a ten pound pike measuring 33 inches. By far the largest fish I've ever caught. I'll tell the story when I get the picture, it's a story you don't hear very many times, you'll understand later. Brought fish home to cook for my wife, should be fun. I'm not a fish eater, ate fish all weekend, and liked it too.
Okay, we're back and we're safe!
