Tobi – Guarding the Leg

Tobi - Guarding my Leg

When I ruptured my achilles tendon, my love machine dog, Tobi, would not leave my side. She simply sat at my feet and guarded my cast.

Nothing gets past Tobi

A beautiful Storm

Today, it is raining. It can’t always be sunny. A long term customer “Barney”, asked Maggie to post a picture of a rainy day … well … we don’t keep that many pictures of rainy days … So, we have asked Barney to get us a picture of himself – soaking we – and we can post it.

Big Northern Pike from the First Week of Fishing – Diamond Key Lodge – 2009

We held a few tournaments the first week of fishing at Diamond Key Lodge.  The winners were Dave Wiens and Ed Lucchetta … Dave had the biggest Pike and the Lucchetta father/son team caught the most Pike.

Here are a few more

Luis and his nice Northern Pike

They just kept coming

Even catching them off the dock

Some Big Bass from the first week of Pike Season

It was unreal … the bass just kept hitting on Pike Lures … of course, all returned quickly to the water … just some monsters …

Just a huge Bass - So many of them

 

Fishing from Shore - Right back to the water

Dave's Big Bass, within an hour of a 24 lb Pike - almost not fair.

They just kept biting ... this is all in the first few days ... crazy.

My Dad – On the Pontoon Ride Home – Smoking a Cigar

This is my Dad.   He joined us for the fishing tournament and then had a cigar on the Pontoon Ride home.

Monster Pike on Opening Day -2009

Last year, David Wiens caught his first Pike at Diamond Key.  So, we invited him back … apparently, he has been secretly practicising.  Quietly honing his skills.

People ask, what do you look like.  Well, I am Peter, this is Karen.  Yes, I married “up”, “way up”!

There is absolutely nothing better in life than the love given by a great dog!

Happier Days – This is me – Peter – in 2008

Peter fishing

I’ve been in a cast for over 5 weeks … with a ruptured achilles tendon.  It has been a real challenge to stay “sane” while sitting with my foot up in the air.

Here is a picture of me in happier times, in my Geisler, fishing … great thoughts … I can’t do any type of sports for at least a year, so fishing is my friend for 2009.  I just love these wood boats … too much maintenance, but beautiful for fishing …
