July Pike

I have spent the last two weeks Pike fishing at the lake.  Lori, Kaylee and I have spent 9 days at the lake fishing, swimming and working.  We built a shed and completed it to move the tools out of the cabin so we can focus on relaxing there.  I have added lights (gas and electric) to the cabin and will be adding a fridge, flooring and finish work this winter.  Lori would like to spend a few weeks out there next summer.  

Kaylee caught her first fish, a 16 inch pike.  She cast the lure, was reeling and said, " It wiggled Dad", and dropped her rod.  Mom coached her to pick it up and reel it in, she liked it and fished for two more hours non stop.  That kid has her priorities straight.  She also went for her first tube ride behind the boat and her first Alaskan lake swim.  She loved both.  The down side is she threw a fit when we were packing up to leave, she did not want to go.

I will start Silver fishing this week and will report on fishing daily.
