T
he family was very excited
as we prepared for our exciting fishing trip to new York!
i had attended an Outdoor
Women unlimited Annual
Southern Classic weekend in Benton,
Alabama at Southern Sportsman Lodge.
What a great time learning new outdoor
activities while sharing time with other
women equally passionate to explore
all the great outdoor classroom adventures. Throughout the weekend, OWu
provided opportunities to win hunting
and fishing trips that extended across
the uSA! Well, i decided to try for the
new York Fishing Trip on the niagara
donated by ernie Calandrelli, ernie’s
guide Service and Charter Fishing! Well,
guess who won???
We left home about midnight for a long
ride ahead. Leaving early, allowed us to
have family time together. We arrived
in Lewiston, new York about 3 p.m. the
next day. it was great seeing the countryside. We checked in to the riverside
motel. We met with ernie Calandrelli,
owner and guide ernie’s guide Service
to plan for the next day of fishing.
5:30 am came quickly! We were eager
to meet ernie at 6:30 a.m. Well, maybe
all of us but my daughter Ashton. He
brought all of us breakfast. We had a
nice trip over to Lake erie. The water
was a bit rough. The first of the family to
get a “hit” was my son remington! it was
a tin can!

After the first hour on the choppy waters,
i began to feel a little queasy. i was in a
panic. To be sick on a fishing trip of a
lifetime would be the worse thing that
could happen to me.. i was determined
to hang tough. Finally, i began to feel
better. ernie took the boat further out
to attempt to catch fish and then came
back toward the inlet. Ashton, my daughter, had curled up on the back seat of the
boat and fell asleep. She had shared with
all that she was not having fun.
