We are having a few showers this morning and I am waiting to hear if my morning family fishing trip is going to happen. We have been pretty lucky this summer with not a lot of rainy days as we move into autumn they get more common.

August seems to be the month of family perch fishing trips, yes I do other trips to be sure but for some reason the perching seems to bunch up in August. It is always a lot of fun and if I do it right we will have the school of fish close to the boat where we can all see the fish gathered around the bait waiting to take a turn biting the hook.

There is a lot to see especially if you take the time out to look. I was mackerel fishing last week and there were small hawks of some sort in the spruce trees on the closest island. I commented that I saw those birds each August and have never taken the time to figure out what they were. That was enough to get me to get out a pair of binoculars from under the console in the boat.
