Fishing...finally!

I tell ya, we have hardly got out in the boat this summer.  Shane has been so busy with work that he hasn't had time to take himself fishing, let alone us.  The poor guy might be going through withdrawals.  We finally got to go out Labor Day evening for a bit before sunset.  We armed ourselves with pop, treats and more treats, minnows (boys request) and leaches and we were off.  Oh and the most important for Collin, a fully charged cell phone to watch Netflix movies on, Nintendo DS and Leapster.  As usual once the fun of playing with/killing minnows wore off he said he wanted to go home.  He usually is done after 20-30 min in the boat.  This time we were prepared and made him stay out longer.  We got out there around 5:00  and headed back in around 7:30, just as the walleyes were really starting to bite.  The boys caught 2 small mouth basses early and then we started catching the walleyes around 7:00.  They were all actually keepers.  That doesn't happen on Mille Lacs much.  By then Collin was pretty much done and 4 (maybe it was 5, I don't remember) walleyes was a plenty good meal for us.  Plus Tyler had to get to bed for school.  We must have had the touch.  I felt like we kept reeling them in for a that little bit and no one else around us was catching anything.  Too bad we had to go in when they were just turning on.  I decided to bring my camera this time so I can get some picture of the boys this year fishing for their scrapbooks.  I always have this fear of dropping it in the lake, so I don't bring it often.  I also and finishing up a 4 week photography class and got to put some skills to use with the great evening light.  I am learning more about sunflare, haze, halos, backlighting, star bursts, reflections, shadows and silhouettes.  So in the down time I got out my camera, but once the walleyes started to hit I put it away.  The boys didn't want to hold the walleyes so I didn't get any pictures with them.  I did get some great sunset pictures though.   Now a big picture share, sorry!!
