I hope everyone had a Blessed Thanksgiving! We went up to Lake Erie over the holiday and the following week. We spent 11 days trying to win a fishing tournament. Mr WD tried to pamper me a little by booking us a room in a resort instead of the small fisherman hotel that everyone else uses. It was a very upscale place and the other guests were more prim and proper than us. LOL! We unpacked and met some friends at a really good restaurant called the Angry Bull. I highly recommend it if you are up in Huron, Oh. Any way, we came back to the room and got pjs on and I was playing on my kindle. I decided to climb in bed and sat there for a few. Next thing I see this bug race across my kindle! You guessed it! We had bedbugs in the room!! I could not believe it! So much for staying at a high end resort! They did relocate us to a clean room and gave us one night free on our stay.
They had a Thanksgiving buffet that we went to. It was $35.00 a person. IMO it was way over priced. It wasn't that great, but, oh well, I didn't have to cook it! Ha ha!
My first day of fishing didn't start off well. Funny story, I slipped on the ice on the ramp and almost ended up in the lake. MR Wd was in the boat and couldn’t help. His friend was in the truck. He asked where I was because I disappeared and I hollered, “Down here! Help! Help!” This other young man and our friend had to each grab an arm and pull me back up the ramp. Now I’m the laughing story all over the lake! I caught 10-12 fish. MR Wd has a learning curve with my camera so he missed a couple. One was a big small mouth bass! And his friend had to be trained to keep the fish until after the photo! Everyday they let me reel in every fish in hopes that I would get a big one and get on the board in the tournament. We fished out of Huron, Lorain, and Cleveland.

It is not without it's dangers!
Where the birds are, the bait is. Where the bait is, the fish are.
This one swallowed the lure!

It ended up bleeding out and we had to give it to one of our friends to clean. We were not keeping any fish (put them back and let them grow).

Then a front came through and we were grounded for a couple days. Heh heh, I thought it was cold before, heh heh.
View attachment 1657457 This is MR Wd and his friend Shawn. By this time my arms are so sore from doing all the reeling for days. We had caught a lot of fish. Shawn tried to hand me the pole for this fish and I said, "Just catch the
fish!" It was a nice one, but not big enough.
So, the last day was too sporty for me to go out. I went to the local DG mall and spied this:
Bought it for mself! I am a little smitten with anything piratey! HAR HAR HAR!
Thanks for looking!
