| My sis, Di Wion, with a nice bucketmouth. |
The last week of May, 2009, was cold, windy and rainy on Portage Lake, MI. Fishing was tough,
but my brother-in-law Rich Wion finally cracked the code by backreeling with the wind in order to let his plastic lure lie
motionless on the lake bottom. Eventually a bass or walleye would eat it, but they would sometimes be 150-200 feet behind
the boat when they took. Tough fishing, but we caught enough to eat well and take a few bags home. All but two
of the bass were released, and we ate rock bass and walleye.

Di caught some nice fish, but cooked us some even nicer meals during the four days/nights we spent at beautiful Portage
Point Inn. Despite the rain and cool weather, we had a good time.

Iris enjoyed her first-ever ride in my D-Star while Isaac and I did a little fishing. Isaac caught some fun-sized
bass and an eater perch...which he ate. Didn't even offer me a bite after I cleaned it, fried it, served it...oh, well.
