Saturday was beautiful weather wise and I took advantage of it to get in a couple of hours of lake activity. Since I am an early riser, Judy didn't even know I had gone fishing. I sat out on the screened porch from 6:15 until 6:45 AM enjoying a freshly brewed cup of coffee from my Keurig coffee machine. The sights and sounds of the lake is so relaxing.
After my cup of coffee I put my bass boat in the water and did some bass fishing. I mostly fish near my house since it is a great area for fishing. Before going back to the house I took the boat on a half hour ride just to exercise it. Once I returned home, I saw this.
This is my weekender neighbors pontoon. He frequently lets friends and relatives use the house for weekend getaways. No one uses my boats. I don't have any idea why they didn't tie up at the boat dock. After securing my boat to my dock I went up to the house, but not before I took a pic with my phone camera.. I told Judy and she took a look. I knew it would be quite a show when the people wanted to take the pontoon out. It is resting on a concrete ramp. I text the pic to my neighbor and it wasn't long before he called. Is that my pontoon he asked. I explained the situation and he said he would take care of it.
Judy and I received a " do ya'll want to go to Applebees" call from my sister about four. We said yes and had a great time talking over dinner. I even ran into one of my teacher friends and his family there. They were celebrating his mother-in- law's 88th birthday.
We got home just before dusk. I took my boat out for a little more fishing. I noticed that the guest next door were gone on the pontoon. I also saw their jet ski was to low on the lift and the water was rising. Lake Sinclair is a hydroelectric generation lake, meaning the water is "pulled and pushed' to generate electricity. The water depth fluctuates about a foot and a half to two feet. I went on and fished in the cove for about 45 min. I noticed that the jet ski had drifted about 200 yards from my neighbors dock. I did the neighborly thing and towed it back to my dock and tied it off until they returned just after dark.
Sunday has been a slow relaxing day for us. Judy thought it would be a good day to use one of the food gift cards she received when she retired. I couldn't say no to that. We loaded up into the car and drove to the "Outback" in Macon. It was good.
That is all for now. Thanks for stopping by. Did I catch any bass? I always "catch & release" bass.
