Fishing Just 35 Minutes Away
Friday morning, along with our neighbors, we piled in the van by 5:30 am and headed north to Sugar Lake. It was a quick trip and we barely had enough time to finish with our coffee before we had to get to work.
It was a sunny, quiet, warm, beautiful summer morning. Once the fishing boat was launched, we donned the life jackets, organized the worms, leeches and some other funny looking bug like things. I guess fish really like those little bugs.
Our plan was to fish for walleye and bass, but the sun fish kept nibbling off the bait. After catching and releasing many, we thought the fish started to look like some pretty big sunny’s and decided to keep the bigger fish. We promised our
B & B guests we would bring fish home for them to have for breakfast, if they wished. They sounded interested so we were not going to come back with an empty stringer.
Got back to the B & B about noon and were faced with the big job of preparing the fish for cooking. We got an assembly line (call it a cleaning line) going and it went pretty fast. Today, after church, we fired up the grill and began to grill the fish. Our neighbors came over, we showed the little boys how to get the bones out of the fish before eating, and we started the task of cooking and joyfully eating 35 sun fish.
Our guests decided against sun fish for breakfast, they liked the sausage alternative better. I am glad we have the first fishing trip under our belt. The purpose for sharing this adventure is that if going fishing for a day while staying at our B & B is something you would like to do, we can make that happen for you. Come and join us.
