With better expectations after last night, we were once again disappointed with Agnes. Big white caps kept us stuck in the far Back Bay the whole day. We caught one eater walleye around 14 inches and a very big crappie which I released. We also caught lots of pike, none over 20 inches. Once it calmed down we headed for camp, grabbed a quick bite to eat and headed back out. I caught one big crappie which we added to the stringer, and one the way back to camp picked up another small eater walleye- enough for dinner. The rest of the day was uneventful The strong fishy odor persisted, I assume I must have missed a few carcases.
