June 19-20, 2004 Sooley Cabin Trouting: (18 Photos)

18.   Whenever we decide to go trouting we often refer to our short list of favourite hot spots. Here we can count on catching more than just a cold.

17.   The pond at Sooley's cabin is one of our favourite fishing destinations, it's made doubly better by the fact that the speedboat is ready to go all summer long.

16.   This was our first trouting trip of 2004 so Sooley hooked onto the family speedboat and towed it out to their cabin for the summer.  Saturday morning Sooley, Spurrell, Maffer, Learning and I packed up and headed out over the highway to the Sooley family cabin near Whitbourne for a couple days trouting and an overnight in the recently renovated bunk house.

15.   We also got to try out the "new" V4 outboard Mr. Sooley had installed earlier this year. It ran pretty good, much better then the old piece of crap that originally powered the boat.

14.   Maffer was sat in the rear left seat, as Sooley made a high speed turn near the top of the pond the prop came out of the water suddenly stopping all foreword momentum. A rather large wake came in over the stern soaking Maffer right through and through!

13.  We persevered and anchored just off the shoals in the centre section of the pond and started catching a few very nice trout right away.

6.   The next morning as he was waiting for the rest of us to get down to the boat Maffer casually cast his line right off the wharf hooking the biggest fish of the trip!
