We have such amazing friends!!! This past weekend we were invited on a day long pontoon boat trip in the Big Rideau Lake. What a trip it was. The shot above perfectly captures my day long struggle with taking pictures or catching fish! My friend Todd (TCW Photography) so brilliantly dubbed what I was doing as Fishtography!
This post will be a photo post of our amazing day!
The Boat with Captain Todd and Ken
The Fishing.... oh this is my beloved tackle box. I have had it for over 18 yrs now and it holds a lot of memories of really fun days with friends.
Francine fishes with Sid. This woman is amazing!!! She pulled in fish after fish, after fish. She won the dollar for first caught and most caught but Siddy earned the dollar for biggest catch of the day!
That is the biggest Sunfish I have ever seen! (excluding the Atlantic perch which have big teeth!!!)
Another one for Siddy!
Mom got one too!
And the cutest fish of the day!
Next was the swimming! It was overcast and yucky when the day started but alas it ended with sunshine and swimming right off the boat!
Next I'll reflect ever so briefly on the learning....
Here are the Narrows, AKA Lock 35. Sid had never seen the locks in action so this was really interesting for her to sit and watch. We moored the boat and spent about an hour here having lunch and watching this amazing feat of engineering!
Back on the boat there was a quick lesson on navigation and chart reading followed by a lesson on the proper operation of the boat.
Lastly there are the loons and the photography
This guy with the broken bill swam with the boat with assistance of Ken at the helm while Todd, Frankie and I snapped picture after picture! What a beauty. I wonder how he broke the tip of his bill?
A beautiful display for the photogs
Mom and babe
And another territorial display by a male.
