Fishing at Otter Creek...............

Every year Erick and his whole family go to Otter Creek to fish on Memorial Weekend. They have invited us so many times, but we always feel obligated to go decorate the graves, but this year we decided to do both. We went down to Richfield on Friday night and stayed at the Fairfield Inn, (very nice) and left early Sat. morning and got there about 9 am. It was raining a little, but Erick took Jim out on his boat with Kyle and Justin and they got 5 nice ones. The rest of us stayed in the trailer and played Rummy, watched Mall Cop, and slept and read. The guys came back in to eat lunch. They were soaked, and Erick was shivering he was so cold. Jim had a bright orange rain coat that kept him a little dry. Erick took a nice hot shower and changed his clothes and when they finished eating, they went back out. They got a couple more and then it cleared up some and the sun came out. I finally got to throw my new pole in and wet my bait, but I didn't even get a bite. But we sure had fun. Erick fileted 8 of them for us to bring home. We left about 8:15 and got home around midnight. It was really worth the long trip.
