I’ve been spending all of my free time lately out on the lake. I completed the restoration of my fishing boat, and as promised, here are the images. I’ve been fishing every day since the boat was completed. There are several lakes around my house, I’ve tried two so far. We’ve caught bass, crappie, sunfish and bluegills. Still trying to find the elusive Northern Pike and Walleye.

The boat is kinda small, but works great and is easy to launch and load. I’ve found a killer website that shows all the lakes around here as well as lake maps, etc. Now I just need to convince the wife that I need to spend $200 more dollars on a fish/depth finder.

I live about 20 minutes north of Minneapolis. Luckily nobody in my family nor anyone I know was at the scene when the bridge collapsed. The scary thing is, I travel that highway all the time. I’ve crossed that bridge thousands of times. I can’t imagine the horror of the victims as it was happening. My prayers go out to all of the victims in this horrible tragedy.
