Paul's 6 lb bass

Today we went kayaking at West Lake in Sandisfield, MA.  I wanted to look for frogs and Paul wanted to fish.  No frogs were seen, but Paul caught a 6 lb. bass.

The last time Paul got a fishing license was, in think, in 2010.  Last night on his 65th birthday, he went on-line and ordered the license which was half-price.

At least there is one good thing about turning 65, LOL!

240/365 - Kayaking (and fishing) at Buckley Dunton

Today Paul and I went kayaking at Buckley Dunton Lake in the Berkshires. What a beautiful day. After almost a week of rain, damp and cool, today was wonderful, low 80's and sunny. Buckley Dunton Lake is in Becket, elevation of 1,750 feet.


The beavers are very active on this lake!





Paul caught a chain pickerel. It was a pretty good size (he forgot to weigh it).




While he's fishing, I usually read. It's so relaxing.










The lake was so beautiful today, very calm.


We haven't been kayaking too much this summer. Actually, the last time we went was on July 3rd with Marley. It was so good to be back out on the water today!

Kayaking (and fishing) at Three Mile Pond

Today we went kayaking at Three Mile Pond in Sheffield, MA. I really like to come here in the Spring before all the water weeds take over. There were a lot of them but not over the entire lake. The day started out sunny with predicted isolated thunder storms. By the time we got there it was starting to rain, not hard, just a shower we thought. It basically showered off and on the whole time we were out there.






Paul got a fishing license the other day. He didn't have one all last year, so he was excited to get back to fishing. He caught four bass, the biggest one was 2 1/2 pounds.

I wanted to take a picture of his fish - I call this his mean face, so I told him to smile...



This is what I got, a forced smile. He is so focused on the fish and really doesn't care what he looks like. Oh well...




Waiting...




Weighing...






I'm glad he enjoys fishing. I enjoy taking pictures of him fishing.
