I don't think I posted this here yet, but for the July 4th this year, my youngest kid and I took a ride up to Lake Dunmore, and fished for a bit and then sat in the middle of the lake on our kayaks and watched the fireworks. Every town on the lake does their fireworks along the shore of the lake plus the boys camp and some others, I think there were 6 spots visible plus what people were doing from their homes.

 

I was up there in June and barely caught any fish, definitely much more difficult this year than last where skipping docks was working. But I know the summer pattern very well, and the spots that usually yield me fish produced - I caught a 19" and a 22" but they both flopped off my ketch board as I was trying to get my phone out of the dry compartment in my pedal drive - need to find a better place for the phone.

 

Anyway, this was such a good time. I was a little worried about drunk boaters (at our local lakes on a normal Thursday, that's usually a problem) but no issues at all, everyone went slow and the few that came our way saw our lights and went right around.
