A couple of weekends ago, we took a little trip up to Vicki's house and then a second trip on the 4th of July.
Plan: spend time with Vicki, play on the lake, do some finshin', maybe get some miles in on my new hiking boots, and anything else that we fancied.
We got in around 3:00 pm, greeted by some rather hot weather and Vicki's wonderful welcome. We had some dinner and some laughs then went to bed so we could get up in the morning and go out on Lake Shasta with Vicki and her Great! friend Jo.
We had a wonderful time and Igor caught our only fishy of the day. Not for lack of trying on my part. I snagged 2 that day and lost both before I could get them out of the water.
A couple of weekends later we went up again to spend the Fourth of July and watch the fireworks withVicki. We had a wonderful evening, Igor was ironically drinking white russians ;)
The next morning we got an earlier start and it really paid off. Jo took us out on her boat again, cause she is wonderful! and Vicki came too of course. We started out not so great with me nearly netting 3 fishies in about 30 minutes, but alas Shasta lake breeds a rare kind of gymnastic, arcobatic fish that can unhook itself mid-flight. Stupid fish.
Some time passes and Igor, of course and rightly so caught the first fish of the day (no picture because he already has one). Then on try number 4...KATIE CAUGHT A FISH! haha! but didn't really want to touch it. they kept telling me to put my finger in it's mouth...umm, yeah, you see the thing is... no.
All in all we had a really good fishin' day. We caught a total of 4 fish. 2 of me 2 for Igor and we lost a total of 6 fishies due to their magician gymnastic nature.
We had a wonderful time both days and on the Fourth of course, and are looking forward to coming to see Vicki again and maybe this time playing some golf, of which I promise there will be pictures, if for no other reason than as proof for Jane in heaven, that Katie has golfed again. :)
