Monday, September 09, 2024 Up early for breakfast. The boys can sure eat! A dozen dehydrated eggs and a stack of bacon all tucked in a fajita shell. Hits the spot but I have no chance of keeping up with the boys when it comes to eating. Three meals and constant snacking prevent me from ever being hungry. After breakfast we head out fishing. The bite is tough but we end up catching a couple walleyes we can have for lunch. Eric ties on his favorite perch colored shad rap and Paul and I fish soft swimbaits. The fish fry is when it hits us that we have left a major item at home - paper towels. Who knew this were so integral to a trip. How do you degrease the fish and potatoes and onions without them? Naps in the afternoon, supper , and then to the Vern River for our evening fishing. Don't know if its the season, low water, or what but we are largely disappointed with the evening. Several hammer handle pike and a few smallies was all to show for the evenings activities.
