Sometimes when you aren’t catching fish, which with muskies is known to happen from time to time, you luck out and catch some pictures that make the trip worth it. The last 5 days have been just that for me. Unfortunately they all were taken by my phone, so they are not the quaulity I would have liked to have.
The rainbow is from the North End of Mille Lacs from last Saturday. I was up huckin the sand by myself, dodging the storms as they shuffled around the lake.
The moon on the horizon was also from Mille Lacs, heading back over to the East Side to pitch some stones at dark. The moon was huge in the sky, unfortunately the picture really doesn’t tell the tale.
The foggy morning was 5:00AM at the Cedar Lake access. On this rare occassion I was actually the first one there, although I hooked no fish during my time on the water, the early morning fog, and the rising sun were a keeper.
The last is a shot from last night when I was out with Bobby. We thought the musky gods would shine favor down on us with the mammoth front approaching, with only an hour and fifteen minutes to throw, we saw no fish, but once again I got a picture that will cement the memory for a long time.
Guess my point is, sometimes I find myself so wrapped up in just trying to catch a fish, I forget to take the time to actually enjoy the opportunity I have been given to just be on the water.
