The Maurer's had a great time at Jon's Cabin this year. Except for two days which were extremely windy, we fished all week, with Owen taking biggest fish honors in the categories of Dogfish, Smallmouth Bass, Walleye and Bullhead in the family. His monster dogfish destroyed his fishing reel but we got it into the net which also broke after we got the fish into the boat. He also caught a very big smallmouth bass on his first trip out with Grandpa and Grandma. He also landed a nice 14" Walleye that was just under the minimum requirements to keep, a really big bullhead and a nice sized largemouth bass on the first day on just a leech at "Moonbar".
Gavin caught a handful of panfish which included two keeper Perch that tasted delicious and lost a nice dogfish after hooking it in what is now known as "Owen's Bay" in the Lund.
Jen also caught a dogfish as well as three northerns fishing with the grownups in dad's SmokerCraft. She also lost a large mystery fish, "another dogfish perhaps?"
James caught four small bass, a small walleye, and a rock bass just off the "Rock Pile".
"Rob's Bay" was fairly silent this week and we found a new bay, which we named "Gavin's Bay" to try out next year.
In addition to the fishing, Gavin sported a mow-hawk for the week, Quinn got a big-girl haircut, we did some disc golfing at the new course in Alexandria, some shopping in downtown Alexandria and a day trip to the Cabela's in Rogers, MN where we ended up getting two new Ugly Sticks that are "dogfish proof".
