The “neighbors” clean their dishes and brush their teeth into the lake, one of my biggest pet peeves. Anyway, today we have nothing but relaxation planned, and we nail that goal! Some walleye fishing comes up empty handed but we land some small smallmouth, so we weren’t skunked on the trip. The second set of “squatters” departs by lunch, thankfully. The wind has finally died down so we spend most of our day on the lake, investigating its many bays, nooks, and crannies. It couldn’t be a better weather day, and the sun sets through the trees quicker than expected. Tomorrow we leave, but don’t want to.
