Lake Leelanau Fishing Trip 2012

     It is September 18, 2012 and we are in Lake Leelanau RV Park up near Sutton Bay MI. We arrive here about 1:30 pm yesterday to meet up with Chuck & Vickie. They have been here a week already enjoying a few days alone. I think Vickie has caught 3 Walleye to only one of Chucks. When we arrive it started to rain and has been doing that off and on. I hope it won't rain all the time we are up so we can get some fishing in. We did go to get a Pizza yesterday in Sutton Bay. It has been raining here of & on all day. No fishing today so we went to the Casino and then to Sutton Bay for some shopping. After we got back from Sutton Bay we play cards until it was time to go to bed. Not much to do when it rains all day.
     September 19th (Wednesday) and it rain all night long but the sun is out now but only 43 degrees here. I think we will be able to go fishing today. Maybe in a couple of hours after it warms up. Well we did go out this morning and Lois caught a couple fish (Perch, and a Sun Fish). I think we was out for about an hour before the weather turn and got real windy and cold. After we got back in we decided go back to the Casino and try our luck again but it was not any better than the last time there. Chuck & Vickie fix supper and then we played cards.
     September 20th (Thursday) and the lakes looks calm for right now but the clouds are coming in again. Not sure if we are going to try it again or not. Well we went to Traverse City so the ladies good do a little shopping and then back to camp. Lois is fixing ribs for dinner tonight and is having Chuck & Vickie over. While she was working on that I decided to try going fishing for a hour. After getting out on the lake the winds decided to start blowing again and I came back in. After supper we played cards for a while.
     September 21st (Friday) Its about 7 a.m. and its not looking good for today either. I guess we wait and see what happens. We decided to try fishing this morning and was not out an hour before it just started raining and before we could get off the lake. Well we got wet this time. We did not do much rest of the day but stay around the camp. Chuck fix supper for us all and we played cards also. About 4:30 p.m. we went back out to fish again and stay out for about three (3) hours. Vickie caught a nice big perch about 14" but when she got to the dock she went to show us the perch and she drop it and back into the lake it went. She will not forget this for a long time and we won't let her.
     September 22 (Saturday) Just looking out the window and all I see is dark clouds. It has rain all night long and some times it sounded like hail. Its only 45 degrees right now and the high is only going to be 58 degrees today. Don't look like we are going fishing today. We did not go fishing at all today so we decided to go back to the Casino. Lois found a way to win so we pretty much broke even this week at the Casino. Later we went with Chuck & Vickie to a Soup & Salad pot luck up to the club house. After that we played cards till it was time to call it a day.
     September 23 (Sunday) its only 43 degrees this morning and we will not be going fishing today. Instead we will start breaking camp to get ready to leave in the morning. So this is it for this trip.
