Trip to Lake of the Woods



Last August Bill and Shirley Bruers and Makita and myself were invited up to Ralph and Ellen Vonasek's island on Lake of the Woods. We had such a good time. We were lucky enough to get invited back this year.


So this past Thursday morning we met Dick Valentine, captain of the Special Ed Boat, (rightfully named) for breakfast at 7:30 am in Blackduck. Then we all went up to Canada and Ralph Vonasek picked us up in his big boat at Mileys resort. We went out to the island and had a absolute great time. Ellen Vonasek never quit feeding us. Their 12 year old Grandson Reed was there. He is an awesome kid. He is very quick witted and funny. He helped with everything. Went fishing by himself. Cleaned his own fish. It was nice having him around.
They had a big old party friday night with around 25 people that came from other area islands and some from mainland. We ate and drank like there was no tomorrow.
Fishing was good. We had two big fish frys and brought home our limits of walleye. The Special Ed boat didn't do half bad.







Here's me and Captain Valentine on the Special Ed boat.

I'll put a slideshow up tonight or tomorrow with more photos.
