Boating in the St. Mary's River near Barbeau, Michigan with our Blue Weimaraner and Vizsla

Boat ride with dogs around Neebish Island in St. Mary’s River Upper Michigan

Last night we took a two hour boat ride with our blue weimaraner, Sampson, and our Vizsla, Asta ~ Asta la Vizsla around Neebish Island.  We passed through Neebish Island and Sugar Island and had Canada about 1/4 mile away.  Only saw a few boats in our trip.  I was surprised not to see anyone patrolling the border from the water.  This was their second boat ride in our jet boat and they love the smells from the bow.

We do have life preservers that we usually have on the dogs at all times but we used their leashes and held on to them so they wouldn’t try to launch at all of the birds flying from the buoys.  We did see a beautiful Osprey and a ton of turns, gulls, ducks, and geese.  Good times…

Here are a few images of the dogs having a good time.  Asta was more of a bow rider and Sampson slept for half of the trip.

      Harrisville, Michigan Fishing Tournament on Lake Huron with Trout Scout V Charters

      Fishing with Dad on Trout Scout V in Harrisville Fishing Tournament

      This past weekend I traveled down to the lower peninsula to fish with Dad and a group of guys from the Alcona area in the Harrisville Fishing Tournament.  The tournament is run every year for like the past 25 years by the Lions Club in Harrisville Michigan.

      We had a great time fishing and caught a bundle of fish.  We caught 19 fish on Saturday and 14 fish on Sunday.  The weather was beautiful until after the tournament.

      Trout Scout V was in first place after the first day, always a bad place to be unless you are WAY ahead.  We ended up just out of the money but had a nice time.

      Check out a few images that I captured with my point and shoot camera in my waterproof case.
