Our friend Ernie and his family have a cottage up North and we decided to spend a day fishing at Houghton Lake. The first stop was to get fishing licenses and such, then we went to the pontoon rental place and rented a boat which we proceeded to stock with the finer accessories of fishing (ie brew).

We ended the day pulling into a bar that was on the dock and had dinner, then returned the boat safe and sound back to its owner. Jim was the only to catch anything other than sun that day, but he let the fish go once he got a picture of it.
