Minnkota and Sherpa Badwater 2012
by walllee
Woke up at 6:00a.m. Feeling pretty good. Made some coffee for me and prepared Jody a cup of tea, his favorite. I delivered it to his tent door. It was the least I could do considering the hell I put him through yesterday. We cooked breakfast-- freeze dried scrambled eggs with ham. Not bad. We quickly set up the fishing equipment and hit the lake. It was another beautiful day, sunny calm winds. A high in the mid 80’s today. I hooked up the depth finder and slowly searched the lake for the elusive walleye. I went to a good looking spot-- not one %$#@ fish. Went to another spot-- not one (*&$#@ fish. Went to another spot-- not one %$#@!* fish. Went to another spot-- not one *%$#@ fish. Crap, time for lunch. After lunch we went out fishing again. Tried several fishy spots….. Only one %$#@&% fish… What the hell!? I consider myself a good fisherman, and can find fish but this lake has me puzzled. We headed back to camp totally bummed. Not only was this lake a bitch to get to, I can’t locate fish. I have never had this much trouble before. We cooked a nice dinner wondering if we made a mistake coming here. Only time will tell.
