It didn't take long to get the canoe into the water, our gear loaded and we were on our way up the lake.
Lovesick Lake XV
We went up the main channel until we came to this island with the cottage on it and I worked on my sketch while Ron started fishing.
The current slowly carried us back toward the main channel until Ron moved us back, so I could continue with my drawing.
Lovesick Lake XVI
With Ron having no luck catching a fish in this spot, we moved on to another location and I worked on this sketch of a seagull on a rock eating a fish while Ron tried his luck.
After a while with him still not having any luck catching a fish, we decided to have our lunch as we continued to watch the gull eating his meal.
Lovesick Lake XVII
We let the current take us through the channel that has a multitude of close to the surface submersed rocks where motor boats cannot go through without damage to their props.
Although, today there was one man who knew exactly how to go through with his small boat and when he had to lift the motor out of the water to avoid damaging it; so you know he has spent a lot of time finding the way through the channel safely.
Lovesick Lake XVIII
We stopped at a small inlet just before entering the main channel, before slowly making our way toward the boat launch.
It was near the channel marker Buoy 234 the that Ron finally caught his first fish. It was a nice sized bass and I carefully removed it from the hook and released it back into the water.
Lovesick Lake XIX
We moved across the channel to the far side of one of the smaller islands out of the way of boat traffic and Ron caught his second bass, which I carefully released back into the lake.
From there we returned to the boat launch and went home after a very enjoyable day our on the lake.
