That's what fishing trips are all about. Each year my father who is 82 years young and my three brothers, two brother-in -laws all pack up for Leach Lake in Minn. for a week of what you said. Even if we don't catch anything the fishing is always good, the beer is cold and we make some of the best chilli this side of Texas. The only difference between fishing and golfing is that when I fish I don't lose any balls and when I golf I don't lose any hooks. Have a great time and be sure to tell us about the one that got away.
