If you look very closely you will see a hunter's duck blind in the picture to the left of the fisherman along the shoreline!

Soon on Long Lake I will be hearing the bang, bang, bang of shot guns taking out some of the very large population of ducks and geese in the Portage Lakes, Ohio area. There are areas around Portage Lakes, Ohio that we have trouble driving because the water fowl cross the streets very leisurely. We respect the buggers and slow down or stop. We also have a problem with the "stuff" they leave behind on our lawns and in our parks!

An Ohio favorite Pat Dailey performed on Sunday at the Upper Deck in Portage Lakes, Ohio!

This entertainer is known for his bawdy folklore songs about the Lake Erie Islands, particularly

Put-In-Bay! He drinks Guiness throughout his performance and gets a little bawdier as the

evening goes on!! Portage Lakes loved him and he gave his all in the stifling humidity and

heat! He played for over 2 hours to the beer swilling crowd on the decks and the lawn and

even in the boats parked at the docks behind him, who he heckled for not paying to come

onto the property. Pat is well known for his song titled Nymphmaniac. No explanation needed.

This is an annual event here at the Upper Deck in Portage Lakes, Ohio.

The grill was cranking our great food and a fun time was had by all as evidenced by the

next photo!

Sandy and Caren rocking to the tunes and hot and sticky, summer finally arrived

to the Portage Lakes, OHIO!
