A Little Fishing Trip on the Gentle Island

I really wanted to stay out a couple more weeks but the job we were doing, running West finished,the customer who we haul for usually run frieght West via rail, but due to the massive rain falls they have had over that side this had become a problem hence run the frieght on the road.The miles are very good and they had you running back empty so bar the 2 hours to tip the trailer you were constantly moving resulting in my best ever month money wise.So i got back to the Island Monday afternoon, i planned to take 3 days off and try some of this relaxing stuff so many keep going on about,i did have a few things to do, sort my money out as i wanted to get some dollars changed into pounds, also replace my suitcase which got a bit damaged on the way out here.A few gym sessions were definately on order but most of all get myself to the pictures and watch Toy Story 3.We have a drive in movie place here but thought i would look like a bit of a sado stting there on my own, so i opted for the pictures i was going to ask a mate if his son wanted to come but i eventually went on my own and how pleased i was, and to rub it in back home as it hadn't come out over there yet,sorry David i had to lol.The island has become a bit touristy at the moment we had Regis and Kelly here for a couple of days drawing in over 30000 people (i think they are the Americans equivilent to Phil and Fern)thats what i was told anyway so Charlottetown was heaving, we also regularly get cruise ships coming in i think there is 43 this season,the summer has certainly brought the island to life and how exquisit it looks, i must admit when i arrived in December i didnt think i would stay long but as the months advanced ive been really taken with the place and it has found a big place in my heart.I got a phone call Thursday morning from work asking if i was available for a random drug test, so after a bit of a discussion and a phone call back an appointment was made for me for 2 pm,i thought i would do a big run first at the gym then head off to there after.Well the test consists of a urine sample and could i do one, after an hour of embarrassment still nothing, even after giving the old man a little talking to nothing.This is a big problem if i dont produce a sample its considered as a postive, i have 2 more hours till that problem arises so after my allocated water intake i pace up and down trying to work a bit out, well i managed in the end to my relief, unfortunately i then spent every 10 mins after that getting rid of the rest.My 3 days eventually eneded up into 4 which i was pleased about as the previous night while having a few buds with the Elder Statesman a little fishing trip was mentioned,so off we set to North Rustico which is about 35 mins from where we live, for an evenings fishing in the Atlantic on a small chartered boat, also with us was Arjan and his family (actually it was him who put the idea into our heads)this guy owns the motel where we live at the moment.Well my rod(Fishing Rod that is) was only out a few minutes before the first of many was on its way into the boat,(by most of us nod nod wink wink not mentioning anyone in particular who was a little shy in this department)we first fished for mackerel then when we had enough off them we went further out fishing for cod using the mackerel as bait, well it wasn't long before we started catching, unfortuantely the biggest one of the night in which was on my line came off as i was reeling it in so no pictures of that, i will leave the glory of the second biggest to a young girl on the other side of the boat,(have you never heard off fishermans tales).
