Bummer of a summer!

Took the boat, boat lift, and dock out of the water. Lake has gone down so much it was difficult to get the boat on and off the lift. Open water fishing is over for me. Waiting for ice now.

I'm not sure how lucky that would be. Your team in the fishing challenge seems to be taking a lot of jealous abuse from some of the other losing teams in the smack down.
