Who Went: Grandma, Ponka, Aunt Dotty, Aunt Sherrie, Adria, Shane, Danny, Becca, Cari, Me
Cari's grandpa has been trying to get us to go down and spend a weekend at Otter Creek for four years now. This was the year we finally fit it in the schedule. We talked my brother in-law and his wife, Danny and Becca into making the trip with us. It was a short lived trip with us driving down Friday after work and leaving Sunday at noon. We fished all day Saturday with many small rainbows being landed. Cari and Becca had a great time catching these feisty little rainbows. Cari's grandpa also had his boat out there and he was fishing with Aunt Sherrie, Adria, and Shane. They also put a hurting on the fish! They primarily trolled with popgear and a flatfish, while we trolled, but also mixed in some jigging. Either technique put fish in the boat! Cari was also the captain on this trip learning and mastering how to drive the boat!
This was Becca's first time fishing in many years so she was pretty excited when she started to catch some fish! She was intrigued at how beautiful they were as she is a big animal lover.
By the time Saturday was over between the two boats we had plenty of fish to eat, and Ponka was a proud fisherman as he shows with this smile.
Sunday morning we went out for a few hours and didn't have quite as good of luck as Saturday. We still managed to put a few in the boat and Danny finally got on the board with his first catch of the trip! You can see how excited fishing is to him by his look in this pic!
We loaded up the boat at around 11:00 a.m. and packed up and got out of there. We decided to go home through Antimony so we could see The Big Rock Candy Mountain that Mary'sville is famous for. It was a good trip and everyone had fun! Can't wait to do it again!
