Chippewa Flowage Vacation 2008

This seen is more or less an experiment to see if I am able to upload my own video to the internet. If this works - perhaps you'll see more if you come back.

Pictured here, Mona is crafting the perfect "Bloody Mary" for lunch while we're taking a short lunch break from fishing. The resort we stayed at is the Chippewa Pines Resort where we've been going for almost 10 years already. You can hear the TV in the background... you can also hear that she likes to swear a lot.

Visit to Lower Cato Falls near Clark Mills

On Sunday, October 26th Mona and I went out to eat at Nibby's in Branch with my Mother and her friend. (They've got great "Family Style Chicken" on Sunday's.) On the way back to my Mother's house we took a detour and stopped at the Lower Cato Falls in Manitowoc County. It's located on County Highway JJ about 8 miles from Manitowoc and a mile or two from Clark Mills.

Pictured here is a view of one of the four sets of wooden steps that lead down to the Manitowoc River. We decided to try to displace some of the chicken we had just eaten so we hiked our way down to the river. Years ago when we were kids and before the County invested the money into renovating the park to what it is today, we would occasionally go fishing there.

Shawano Lake Weed Cutter

I was leaving for work on Wednesday morning October 22, when I noticed a commotion down by the boat landing so I decided to check it out.

Pictured here is a crew that was loading up the weedcutter that had been parked in the Swan Acre landing on Shawano Lake for several months now. With the weed problem as bad as it is on the Lake the Lake Association has resorted to having them cut and removed. Some areas of the Lake have such a weed problem that its near impossible to get a motorized boat through it.

One More Cast... Then We'll Go

The sun is setting on another fishing season for us soft water anglers. Pictured here is John still trying to catch a fish after Mona caught and released the nice Largemouth below. With some luck - we might be able to get out one more time?

I'll Have a Gallon of Gas... To Go!

Mona returns from her walk to the gas station to buy a second gallon of gas.
