More fishing in Gull Harbour

The day after the wedding, the rain finally came. It was cold, damp and cloudy, not enticing for outdoor activities. We woke up late since we went to bed so late or rather, early in the morning. There were leftovers from the wedding reception/dinner for brunch: sandwiches, fish and chips, and yoghurt. The rain took a break around 11 am, so we decided to try fishing on the pier again so that my sister, who had to leave in the afternoon, could get another opportunity to fish. She was not disappointed: she caught her second large pickerel.

It drizzled on and off, with the sun poking out every now and then, resulting in a rainbow over the water. We spent the whole afternoon fishing. I finally caught my first pickerel! All in, we caught a total of 7 pickerels and a couple of yellow perch.

Cleaning the fish was quite a chore. The fish cleaning station had tons of mosquitoes trying to find a weak spot to land and feed. A couple landed in between my fingers where there was no bug repellent. I kept thinking I would likely get nightmares of mosquito attacks, it was so bad. Even lighting a mosquito coil under the cleaning tables did not help to repel them! We were too tired to make any dinner, just had left over sandwiches and fish and fries and rested for our drive back to the US.
