~Low 40s overnight so a little chillier again. The day dawned a little hazy but became clear with temperatures in the low 70s today which was quite pleasant. The winds stayed calmer today in the 5-10mph range. We were treated to some amazing Northern lights in the evening.

I made biscuits and gravy this morning for the crew. It was a hit for sure and will be returning on all future trips. No one was too eager to get out fishing as the bodies were getting sore from sleeping on the group and long stretches in the canoes. Everyone got out fishing throughout the day and explored the area for fishing prospects. Caught some fish here and there but nothing noteworthy throughout the day. Some of the group headed East and explored the Bottle River current area and reported some interesting artifacts and other items.

We had a fish fry for lunch with potatoes, onions, and carrot hash as a side. It was delicious. Potatoes are heavy and bulky, but I think it was worth it to me. Most of the crew jumped in off the rock point on the West side of camp after lunch. It was deep right off it which made for a good swimming location. Pretty lazy day around camp doing camp chores, talking, doing some slip bobber fishing, and reading my Bible. We all went out for a final evening of fishing on LLC as we decided to hop a few portages closer to our EP due to the lack luster fishing in the Tiger Bay area. I fished the same area as the previous night where I had done so well and only caught a couple which was perplexing but maybe I was not quite in the right spot or something. The night finished very calm, so I threw some topwater on my way back to camp and caught some nice Smallmouth to salvage the evening a little bit. The rest of the group did just okay again. Jud stayed back and lip bobbered from camp off the point and caught several nice Walleye and a few bass tonight. During our 2 days at this site, we probably caught 10 walleyes, 20 or so bass, and a couple pike from camp so that was a nice plus.

As we were enjoying our dinner and campfire, I kept noticing some weird stuff going on with the sky. There are a lot of tall trees in this site and the firepit is set back some from the lake so you really can’t see the sky all that well. Me and a couple guys walked down to the water’s edge and low and behold it was the Northern Lights. We all walked out to the point and enjoyed them for a good hour or so and got some cool picture. None of us have fancy cameras so we did the best we could with what we had. Definitely a cool experience! The bugs were not an issue at this site due to its open nature and breeze coming through.

Total fish catches from 2 days in Tiger Bay area of LLC 120 ish Walleye (Biggest 24”) 150 Smallmouth bass- none over 20 that I know of, several 18 or 19” fish. 25 Pike or so with a few mid to upper 30s.
