On Leech Lake, June 26, 2010 -- Our 29th Wedding Anniversary

This past weekend was very busy with roofing work, that I did not have a chance to write to this blog. So I'm going to try to recapture the events of Saturday and Sunday in posts made today, Monday, June 28.

Happy 29th wedding anniversary Kathleen. I love you. I can't believe it's been that many years already. Time sure flies when you're having fun!

Rick and I worked on the roof today and then in the evening went fishing. The wind was light at 5-8 mph out of the SW, the water temperature was just under 72 degrees and the air temperature was in the high 60s.

Using our usual technique of trolling Minnow Raps at roughly 2.25 mph ground speed in 8-11 feet of water, we boated several fish. Rick had a particularly good night catching walleyes of 24", 18", 16 3/4" and 13". He also caught two pike and a rock bass. I caught only one fish, but it was a very nice 24" walleye. All fish went back into Leech Lake.

I did my real work during most of the day, but did manage to find several hours to help Rick on the roof. We did not go fishing this evening.
