Sister Bay, Wisconsin

I recently have been gone on vacation camping and salmon fishing at Sister Bay, Wisconsin. Wisconsin has got to be one of the most beautiful and wonderful states, with the only negative being the Green Bay Packers. The state is very old school with beautiful old farm buildings, bluffs, plains, and lots of beautiful sights to see. We drove straight across the state to the very East tip of the farthest peninsula to Sister Bay. The campsite was beautiful with many wonderful things to look at, especially the male summer workers staying at the camp site wandering to the showers with no shirts on! I mean...... ummm... the variety of trees, varying terrain, beautiful sights on Lake Michigan, the bluffs, cherry tree farms, and wonderfully charming old buildings. The towns along the peninsula were as charming as a town can get, with the exception of all those blasted tourist, who did they think they were! Mondern houses and shops did not fit in this place. Everything was cute and quaint. There were go karts, miniature golf courses, antique and knick knack shops, cherry and farm produce stores, cherry farms, apple farms, lots of tourist stores, and all in old fashion or foreign style shops. The place was wonderful. I spent one day resigned to hanging out with the women of the family shopping and doing touristy things. The rest of the days it was all about going out with the men fishing for salmon! It was a wonderful trip, and we got a cooler full of fish to bring home. The fishing license paid for itself by far! I have fish for the whole year now, and they were a blast to catch. The funniest part was trying not to fall in on the gigantic rollers while reeling in a fish. I looked like a drunken sailor trying to move about the boat. In all I caught a few 13 to 15 pounders, and a bunch of shakers, as they call the one year old salmon. Sister Bay is definitely a trip worth taking!
