great story
great pics
great gesture taking along those vets

bet it was a great meal as well

We had Fish on the grill and corn on the cob. Dessert was white cake smothered in fresh strawberries and whipped cream.

As far as the vets...I would suggest anyone interested look into your nearby veterans groups, there are many around. We have been involved as 'support volunteers' for the Project Healing Waters annual steelhead get together for a few years and although they do fly fishing we found some in the group always asked us about the lake fishing so when we got our latest boat we started inviting interested vets along for walleye trips. We arent a charter and cant always promise them a boatload of fish but we do what we can to give them a good day on the water. We enjoy taking out friends and family also but my husband and I agree that our 'vet runs'  are our hands down favorites.  There is a VA hospital in Erie, and a lot of vets local to the area, so often can find passengers on short notice. 

I'm glad that you still do that Fisherlady...It killed me to miss the picnic last year.
 
Gonna miss it this year too

Been out a few times recently at night for bass and cats. Getting bass at twin lakes, the cat and carp fishing has been slow. We need some rain!

I did take a trip up to the Redbank creek near New Bethlehem last weekend, a mix of bike riding and fishing. Caught a few smallmouth bass. First time fishing the Redbank, definitely has some potential.

Redbank creek is straight up awesome, and its one of the few places I've been to this summer where I was able to get away from the crowds. Where were you able to get access to the water from the trail? I've biked the whole trail from the mouth to the Brookville, and there aren't a ton of easy access points.

Fishing weekly, things are good! Hope you can find a few...

Very pleasant today on the big lake. Flat lined plugs in 30s, harnesses and weight in 40s. Im gonna havta get a bigger freezer, or start giving em away. Tomrw should be hammer time again. GL all.

Well she giveth and she taketh away... Lake Erie is the only mistress I've ever had that didnt treat me right everytime. Blown off today. Not even close for our boats. Oh well. There still should be a good month left, fingers crossed.
