Petersburg COE (Oct 10-16)

Thursday - We had a good trip here and were all set up by 1:45 PM.

This is the view from our site (#44)

It is a beautiful day, but quite breezy. We will be here for one week.

Friday – We are able to put the kayaks in right here from our site. We did that today and fished for a couple of hours. We have never been very successful here, and this time was no different. We can't seem to find where the fish live. We have more days here this time than usual, so maybe we will figure it out before we leave. The weather continues to be just about perfect, with cool nights and warm days.

Saturday – We checked out Wildwood County Park and Mistletoe State Park. Both were very nice and would provide a backup place to stay if something should happen to Petersburg COE. We also made a Walmart run.

Sunday – We went to church with Barbara, I lady we met here three years ago. It was a very nice service, and then head dinner with her at her place. She fixed and excellent roast with all the fixings. We then had a nice conversation with her on her screened in porch that overlooks a nice yard with trees in the background. On the way back, we stopped at Spring Lake COE day use Park and fished for a while and talked to a Korean couple that were there. They caught one Pickerel but, we came up empty again. 

Monday -  awe had hopes of putting the kayaks in this morning, but again it was too windy. Instead we took our cane poles over to the fishing pier with small plastic worms to try there. Again nothing. We then went to a small pond where we have had some success before. Finally Joan caught a bass that was around keeper sized and John had one break off and lost another. We had no way to measure Joan's, so we returned it unharmed. 

Wednesday – The Wind finally quit long enough for us to get out and fish from the Kayaks. We went back to an area that John liked, however, the results were less than spectacular. Joan caught three bream and one small bass, while John came up empty. We certainly don't have this lake figured out. We are starting to get things packed up so we can leave in the morning.
