As we sat around the house looking for something to do, we called the in-laws to see if we could grill some steaks. This of course is a family day and wanted to have quality time. The in-laws suggested we go out to Chili's and eat. Cambree and Tyler were up to it. The food was great! During the meal, I mentioned maybe we could go fishing. The men agreed! So after a few hours of family time, it was time to head out. Mantua is a 200 acre lake up in the Rocky Mtns. inbetween Logan and Brigham City. It is about a 25 minute drive from the house and is free to fish. We launched around 5:15 with a slight breeze from the NW. First fish was in the boat by 5:30. I rigged up a small lead headless jig with a small 1 inch black/chartruese jig tipped with a nightcrawler. I used this the entire time. We stayed till dark and kept 41 bluegill and 3 perch. It was a hoot and those things fight really hard for their size. Looking to head back later on this week if all goes according to plan.
Side note: I really have a great wife who deserves everything! She puts up with me and is the best mother in the entire world! I am so selfish and I wish I could give her the world or a maid so she wouldn't have to clean the house ever again!
Hopefully I'll get the pictures from the trip downloaded soon.

I'm glad you had fun!! I'm really NOT that great, maybe moody!! Love you!
Sounds fun Lan...keep the stories coming. I can't wait until you post some pics!
Lanee, I have to say...that is NOT a fish...that is bait, no matter which way you look at it.
Great blog, Lanee! Kendahl loves to fish - and used to go all of the time when we lived in Colo Spgs. I remember being pregnant (and totally sick) and he'd bring home those nasty, smelly fish and put them in our freezer - and everytime I opened it up - those things were starring at me! I always wanted to run into the bathroom and throw up! Anyway, great blog! We'll keep checking it for updates on the great outdoors! Tell your family hi for us!
