Hello Fisher Friends
I live on the edge of Rice Lake, and go out 2X a week to my favorite spots for some exercise, and fresh air. Re-learning the FISH experience after an accident years ago ( and many ,many months of morphine and other meds has WIPED my brain)
My other bud and I went out for our regular 5am Fishfest on Friday and the OPP [water patrol bumped into us checking for all the NECESSARIES.
A thumbs up to the officer and his first mate. There was NO STATIC, and he chatted us up. Gave us the ALL CLEAR and sent us on our way. This was the first time in a while that we have seen any presence on the lake.
Nice to see as there are MANY , NEW I will say ( getting myself in trouble ) Citi-Type folk they come out 6 guys in a tin boat wearing dress suits squawking in some language nearly capsizing when they catch sunfish, bluegills, perch and other SMALL baiters. We had to save a " boating floatilla just last week from danger as they were right on the bouy path when a LARGE cruiser swamped them from its mega-wake and one guy fell out. No life jackets either,, just OLD ski belts.
Anyway, great to SEE the water patrol. Great job, and the CHECK was justified. Keeping US honest.
Just my thoughts ( for what it is worth )
