MAGICAL NORTHERN MICHIGAN ........... SALMON FISHING!!!

A NIGHT ON THE WATER


After a busy “shop til you drop” afternoon with Joanie, we regrouped at Ron & Joanie’s place for a night on the water on Harry & Stephanie’s 32’ Tiara.  What an unbelievable treat this was!!!!


GO BLUE! (Michigan Fan!!)

The boat is beautiful, just the right size for doing anything, but gets less fuel efficiency than the MH!  OH WELL!

Ron's ready to go!

CAPTAIN HARRY



We clamored on board around 6:30 and headed about four miles out into Sutton’s Bay.  


Ron then proceeded to set the fishing lines as Harry called off the depths of the salmon…..80’ – 100’ meanwhile Joanie pulled out the snacks and cracked the beers!

JOANIE & STEPHANIE

We trolled up and down on an absolutely beautiful, balmy night watching the sun sink lower in the sky.  

LIFE IN THE FAST LANE!


The salmon will start biting after sunset…..everyone was sure.

HARRY & STEPHANIE



 Sunset was at 7:45, 75 minutes from where it was when we came up in August!  The fish seemed to be deeper than our lines and not very hungry tonight. 




 It didn’t matter though.  Sunset was gorgeous 







and the harvest moon came up over the boat.




We finished up around 8:30 




Came back for pizza and beer before heading back to our homes.

LIFE IS GOOD!
