A Fish






Friends of ours camped for a few days with us over the 4th of July. We had a good time inspite of being the busiest weekend of the season at the campground. I have a picture of their campsite. I have to say the campsites are all pretty nice here even though the campground is huge -- over 300 sites. The campground was pretty much full but it was still fairly quiet. No loud screaming children -- they were all fairly well behaved, no incessant dog barking -- you can't leave your dog unattended and no shooting of fireworks was allowed in the campground so all in all in was a nice weekend.
Jim took his buddy out fishing and it was so rough that they couldn't fish out in the bigger water. Jim managed to catch a small mouth bass -- finally a nice fish. It was 19" long and he caught it right in Sturgeon Bay in some shallow water. His buddy caught a couple of nice sheepsheads.
We all went to a fish boil on the evening of the 4th at the White Gull Inn in Fish Creek. A nice place to stay with a restaurant that is open to the public. Watching how they cook the meal outside over a fire and do the "boilover" is as big a part of the meal as eating the finished product. Of course it wouldn't be a Door County meal without cherry pie for dessert.
