Day 5 of 7
I knew this was going to be our last day in Friday Bay so we had another BIG BREAKFAST. The hunger to discover more was infecting my youngest son more than my oldest. Emotionally we were beginning to wear out our welcome there. In the back of my mind I wanted to get to a point in which we could reach our entry within a few hours. Our plan for the day was to have a grand fish fry. I would say it was about mid-day and we were not satisfied with the amount of fish we had on the stringer. Shortly after we had stopped fishing in the morning an unseen turtle relieved us of two walleye in which we were greatly anticipating. This left us with only two walleye and one eater sized SMB. I had literally been telling my kids how when a snapper finds a stringer he will take the walleye off the stringer first because he knows they are the best…..and so he did. I paddled South of our sight to some downed trees and fished for the rest of our fish dinner. When I returned we began to clean the fish. One thing worth mentioning is that directly adjacent to the excellent landing of our sight was a small opening in between some boulders in which I am sure there was an active beehive. We had to be always conscious of their mood. After fish we all pitched in doing some pre-travel day packing which generally consists for breaking down rods packing reels, packing hammocks ect.
