Friday, August 19, 2022 This was our last day on Gull lake. After our tea and coffee we enjoyed some blueberry pancakes and bacon. Our goal was to have another meal of fish so after breakfast and camp chores we headed out to get our walleye. We trolled spinners all around the north and west shores to no avail. All we could manage was smallies, northern, and bluegill. So we decided to switch our effort to some topwater smallies. The sun was burning through the clouds and we quickly had a few hits. Near the portage to Home I tossed my popper near the bank and BANG, an angry strike and battle ensued. When I got it to the canoe it was a 21" walleye!! On a topwater no less, we thought that would be just enough fish for our last dinner. The clouds thickened back up and some rain moved in so we headed back to camp. It stopped and we whipped up our fish meal, it was delicious and soon after came more rain and thunder. We napped under the tarp in our camp chairs, it was quite relaxing. The rain broke around 3:30 so we headed out for some evening fishing. We picked off a few smallies and northerns before some more rain showers. The rain stopped and we decided to try to get a fire going for our last night. We were successfull and it was the nicest night of the trip, we stayed out til after 10 with very few bugs. Goodbye 39...Hello 40!!
