Hello creekers, This is a continuation of a comment that Marc Himes made a few days ago when we had been fishing on lake Superior the morning I was going to do a tool demo for their turning club. For me the weather was perfect, cool, cloudy and not much wind, and with a couple of great fishing companions to round out a fine first time out on lake Superior. I met Marc at the marina on Presque Isle and Capt. Al was there waiting for us and we were out on the lake very soon after. We had been out just about 20 minutes when we got the first fish, a small Coho salmon but a good size for a nice meal for my wife and I. The next fish came near the end of our loop back to the marina, and that is the lake trout Marc reeled in, it also came home with me and will most likely get put in the smoker next week when I have time.
That night was the demo at the club meeting and It was a great success and everyone had a lot of questions and I had a lot of answers. We will have to wait for Steve S. to get some pictures of my demo and tool creations to prove it all took place, but here are some pics of the fishing trip.
Thanks and I had a great time with Marc, Steve and all the rest of the U.P Turners that I met up there!
Jeff
