Need to go fishing ... badly!
Pack up kids and the Misses and off to the Rockland boat launch.
Everyone puts on sun screen except Misses Livewell, blisters to follow.
Head east for a nice long run up to Wendover to check out a stretch I bumped into last year that looked too good to be true.
Kids bored. Promise to take them to park afterwards.
Turns out, spot looked better than it produced, but did mark a bunch of fish, will try again later.
Kids really bored. Big Bass Billy glosses himself the 'Worm King', revealing his invertibrate ring of power. Butter kids up with juice and snacks and promises of the park to come.

Hit one of favorite pike and bass spots on way back to launch. Kids really getting anxious to get off boat and onto swings.
Cast, cast, and cast shallow. 1 x 9" pike.
Move to the other side of boat, and first cast ...

Feel pants burning in anctipation of flames from upset posters about out of season fish. Wish someone could teach musky how to read calendar.
The lure of choice crushed by the giant snake.

Misses Livewell now glows in the light.
Kids scared to death of giant fish, wanna go to park NOW.
Go to park.
Misses Livewell finds some much needed shade.
