Well we made it home safe and sound from our 4 day jaunt to Rhinelander. Please don't ask me about the fishing. Oh the process called fishing was great, a bit cool at times, but great none the less. The results of said fishing are another matter. In approximately 13 hours on the water over 3 days(Tuesday was rained out) I caught the grand total of 1 fish. One crummy, stinking 4 inch bluegill for all that time and effort. Only my Lord and Savior could have made a meal out of that. It was not all for naught as on late Monday afternoon after a brief phone conversation with my nephew and sometime fishing partner Jason, I had a musky follow up the large white spinner bait I was casting at the time. It was the fishing highlight of the week. Now I know many of you are scratching your head at this statement, but if you are at all familiar with musky fishing, you know that some times seeing a fish is all that happens. Sad to say for this trip, that was all that happened. The other highlight came while waiting for my wife to arrive with the truck and boat trailer at the boat landing across the lake at the resort we stayed at. I talked briefly with a fellow from Appleton who was also out in search of the elusive musky. After our brief conversation, he left only to return a few minutes later to pick up his rods and reels, which he had absentmindedly left in the boat. Having been the victim myself of such silly self inflicted behavior, I joked with him and wished him well a second time.
