As we posted in our last blog post, this summer was going to be busy. Well, the annual salmon fishing trip was a success, again! We took the 5th Annual journey to Point Breeze to participate in the
Professional Abatement Contractors of New York (#PACNY) Salmon Fishing Pro-Am Derby. This year 14 boats participated in the derby. We left from Orchard Creek to fish the Great Lake of Ontario at 6 AM. As the same as last year,
Future Environment Design's (#FEDTC) had the same boat as last year "
Catchin Hell" piloted by Captain Tom and First Mate Mike.

It was a beautiful day, the Lake was a little rough and because of it, we bounced around a bit on the way out to our fishing spot. Captain Tom & First Mate Mike did a great job handing us the poles and giving us encouragement as we reeled in our catches. We stayed on the lake until about noon and then came ashore to weigh our catches and see who won the derby. After the weigh-in, a catered buffet lunch was provided by the Black North Inn and awarding the trophies/prizes. This year's winners were:

We had a great time, we caught 3 King Salmon and 3 Steelhead Trout. We are looking forward to some good eating over the year as we usually bring all the fish home to have some over next few days and then freeze the rest to have until next year's catch. Thank you to Darren Yehl for adding to what we brought home. We did our special recipe of brown sugar, kosher salt, and scotch whiskey on the fish to have our version of lox and it is delicious! See below for links to our fishing stories, see you next year!
