I made the title of last weeks newsletter time sure flies. I got to thinking about how quickly time has flown by, when Maine Outdoors was first started our oldest son Noah was a newborn. This spring he is taking his test to become a guide and will complete his second year in college. Our youngest son will graduate from high school next month, it hardly seems possible that they are not little boys playing in the yard or riding their bikes to school.
My trip to Groton, CT last week was very pleasant, Argy was able to go along and we had a sort of business vacation. The drive was simple and using the GPS for guidance we arrived with no trouble without directions, pretty amazing when you think about it. When we arrived at the Elks Club there was a marina out back. We walked out and met a couple of fishermen with a nice catch of winter flounder and an excellent recommendation for a place to eat dinner.
I am still trying out the new Lund Alaskan and making sure that everything works as it should before my season really gets underway. To do that I thought that I would take advantage of the warm afternoon that we were having today. I launched the boat in Seven Tree pond and after an initial mishap (left the plug out when I launched, really good news the bilge pump works like a charm) I spent an hour or so bass fishing.
