TCF Members visit Bob's Lake

We had a great time at Bob's Lake last week. The weather was great, we only had rain in the evening and once during the morning. We had a great time fishing and exploring the lake.

The lake contained all different type of fish, which Mary seemed to catch when we started using real worms. She caught Bass, Bluegill, perch, Rock Bass, and sunfish. I was able to land a few nice size bass as well. I was using rubber worms and top water baits.

The wildlife was really abundant and a lot of fun to watch. The lake features Falcons, Hawks, and Eagles. We also noticed snakes, turtles, beaver, black ermines deer, fox and of course chipmunks which are not bashful at all.

We each had our own cabins and had a common area to have cookouts and to just sit. Across from our cabins was a large deck which overlooked the lake water and had a great view of the lake. We all shared diner each night which was a lot of fun, and tried to travel in the same location on the lake during the morning fishing trips.

Usually during the afternoon, we would all head back for lunch a few beers and some time on the small beach that cedar haven had. Well guys I have to tell you that Jody still has it in him. He was the only one of us that swam all the way out to the diving platform. He also had the guts to go down the pipe. This was a large tube, that had water running inside of it, and it dumped you right into the lake. The rest of us were content to hang our feet in the water to get cool.

The only bad thing that happened to the old red and white, was that she is taking water. We determined where the leaks were, and did our best to patch those leaks with Epoxy which slowed the amount of water coming into the hull. We also installed an automatic bilge pump switch which bailed the water out when ever needed. The water separating filter is working well and we had no problems with water in the fuel.

We were also close to a town called West port which we toured on Wednesday, (rained in AM) we had a good time walking around and had a great lunch there.

The trip was a lot of fun and I would like to thank Jody, Lisa, Joey, Sherry, Mary for a great time. It was a lot of fun, and hopefully we can do it again next year.
