At the Lake with the Gang

Well, only part of the Gang. Only the Rands could make the trip this year. But that left some space and my sister and her family came to play with us. We had a blast. Swimming, skiing and wakeboarding. But tubing, that was so much fun. Marcus Rand is the tube king. We had to pry him out of the tube. He could have gone all day. We strung 4 and 5 tubes behind the boat and went wild. When we took all those tubes down to the boat, we joked that "You might be a redneck, if it takes 2 truckloads to take all your boat toys to the water". We had a campfire Sat night and the boys even caught some fish, well, one catfish. It was a crazy, fast weekend, but we crammed a lot of fun in 2 days.

Fishing with Caleb

What a great way to spend the evening. I picked up Caleb Davis and the two of us headed to the Powhatan Lakes to see what was biting. With the boat in the truck and minnows in the bucket, we headed to Powhatan to find some fish. We didn't really slay them, but we did have a blast. A few bass, bream, and catfish did make it in the boat, but that wasn't what made the trip. Spending time with a good friend and enjoying the summer evening. That's what fishing is really all about.
