Woke up around 6:00 a.m... Today is partly cloudy and cooler. We skipped breakfast except for a quick cup of coffee and we hit the lake for another day of fishing. We were on our way to our favorite reef when the depth finder started to reveal something interesting. We had stumbled on another area that looked promising. It’s a mid lake reef about the size of a basketball court topping out at 5 feet with deep water very close. Again, I slowly trolled the area with jigs and twisters. It was not long before the first walleye was in my grasp in the canoe. Jody also had one ready to land. This area was as good as the other reef which was only ¼ mile away. A lot less snags and closer to camp. We fished for a couple hours boating both walleye and northerns. We reluctantly pulled up anchor and headed back to camp for lunch. We decided after lunch that we would head to the south end of the lake again to check out the area that we had success with a few days ago. A few clouds were starting to interrupt the sunny skies of the morning. The wind was picking up a little, but not unmanageable. We covered the 3 mile trip in swift manner. We opted to head to a more protected area to try our luck and found a nice secluded bay. It was typically shallow chocked full of lilies, cabbage, and about any other plant that grows in this water. We did catch a few northern, but nothing to brag about. We looked up and saw another canoe heading our way with the two men that we encountered on Quetico Lake. They had been on a weeklong loop up through Quetico Lake, Jean Lake, and many smaller lakes, finally reaching Badwater. We chatted about our experiences in the wild. They asked if the Badwater portage was as bad as its reputation. I told them that it was the most difficult I had been on in 35 years of exploring the canoe country. We discussed the portage in detail, and they were glad that they had time to mentally prepare for their trip out the following day. We decided it was time for dinner so back to camp we went. After a delicious dinner of chicken ala king it was time for more fishing. We opted to fish close to camp tonight. The many miles of paddling today took a toll on us and we had good success, boating several walleye and northern. Both species seemed to love the 14 foot area that we were targeting. It was yet another beautiful evening--crystal clear skies, a gentle breeze, and the forest as quiet as I have ever heard it. We pulled up anchor just before sunset and made our way back to camp. A nice fire and cup of hot coffee was a perfect way to end the day. We spent a few hours staring into the starlit night counting satellites and shooting stars. Great night! We hit our tents at 1:00 a.m.
