Went to Rockport again on Saturday with Mac, Gary and friends. Had a great day. It was amazing the night before we had gale force winds at our house and was very concerned about damage to our house and other things, actually had to strap our BBQ down so it didn't blow off the balcony. I was very skeptical about even going with them the wind was still blowing hard at our place. Texted Craig and said no thanks not interested in fishing in these conditions, he called a minute later saying it wasn't blowing that hard in AF and that I needed to come to just see what it was going to be like at the lake. I agreed and met up with him and Gary and went to the lake. It was blowing but not miserable. We got on the ice around 7:30am and the wind wasn't bad and it was blue sky and the progressed to be a very nice day with a small breeze most of it but we didn't need to set up tents. It turned into a great day for me got my first/last fish of the ice season for 2011 and proceeded to catch 6 more nice rainbows. We all had a good day on the ice, shared stories and had fun watching each other try to catch more fish. From losing an entire rig into one whole, and watching Gary about break his ankles saving another rig from going into the lake. Yep we were watching one rig and there was one hit on it and gone straight down the hole, craziest thing I have seen on the ice. Glad Mac was persistent in making me go. Great way to finish off 2011 season and year glad it is over it has been a hell of a year at our house and with the family. Here's to much better 2012 and looking forward to making the best of it with many trips to many places with friends and my fishing partners Jimmy and Parker, Parker comes home in 58 days!!! til next time keep smilin'
