This morning was another day of fishing. Today I did have the use of my electric motor so I didn’t get near as much exercise.
But I did cover a lot of the lake. I caught the first four in about 45 minutes (got to the lake around 8:00 a.m., I don’t wear a watch since I retired so I don’t always know what time it is) and then didn’t land the last one until after 11:00 a.m.
I caught the largest one last. The largest one weighed 3/4 of a pound and all five weighed 2.5 pounds. I hope to smoke these and Friday’s catch this weekend.
InReach tracking says I traveled 2.73 miles today on the lake and 2.89 miles yesterday.
One of my retirement goals was to start doing some lowland lakes trout fishing. Today was my first day out on Lake Wilderness. I got to the lake a little after 7:00 a.m. and had my five trout by 11:15 a.m.
They range from 8 to 12 inches.
This is an aerial view of the lake’s location.
My boat is the yellow one sitting in the lake.
Here are a couple of pictures of truck I recently purchased and by fishing/sail boat. It has actually taken a while to get the boat cleaned and to rebuild the trailer. It needed new tires, lights and hitch coupler.
It was a good day and I’ll be out again tomorrow morning. Tanya is giving me her BBQ now that she is moving to Poulsbo and I think I have figured out how to use it to smoke trout.
Here is the aerial picture:
On the walk we saw two coyotes, and I got a picture of the second one.
