• Memorial Day fishing trip [Photographer: Grace Kim]

  
  

  The first shift [Hun, Paul, and Yong] went to Martha Lake at 6:30am while the second shift [the rest of us] got there around 9am.  Not much action so we decided to go where any normal Seattleites go to kick off the rest of the day . . . that’s right – Starbucks!

  
  

  Paul was happy because he had fishies [appropriately] on his cup while Glo was sad that she didn’t have any.

  We re-located to another lake somewhere up north where it was streetside, and then re-located again to a park.

  
  

  Hun was fishing inside a forest-like setting and I decided to join him.  Not good.  I tried casting 4 times, and got it stuck in the trees 3 times, so most of my time was spent re-setting the pole.  It’s definitely harder than it looks.  :T

  
  

  

  
  

  Paul was determined.

  
  

  

  
  

  Dave was having a blast!  [not really]

  I think Tiff was cold.

  
  

  

  
  

  No one had any luck yet, so we packed up our things and headed to Tulalip Casino for their lunch buffet.

  
  

  I think Glo was excited to get some food in her tummy.

  
  

  

  
  

  This is what usually happens after a buffet if you’re not careful.

  
  

  

  
  

  And this.

  
  

  

  
  

  Boy was I excited for dessert!  And no, that wasn’t all for me.  The food was pretty good, but dessert was pretty poor.

  At this point, some went shopping, some went home, but some of us were still determined.  Hun, Paul, Yong and I went somewhere in Edmonds to give it a final try.

  
  

  Jackpot!  Yong is lovin’ on his rainbow trout!

  
  

  

  
  

  After the good news, the shoppers joined us.  Everyone else is still waiting to get a bite.

  David caught one too!  A bittersweet moment as he felt sorry for his rainbow trout.

  
  

  

  
  

  He reluctantly smiles with his prize.

  
  

  

  
  

  Magnificent view that we enjoyed!

  
  

  

  
  

  Patience is key . . . in fishing and in life.
