Monday, May 21, 2007-We woke up this morning to a solid steady rain. I had a cup of hot chocolate and a good breakfast. This morning we had planned on going to Lake Gebeonequet (Ge-be-one-quet.) We were not sure if we wanted to make the 3 lake trip there because of the weather. We decided to go and try for walleye. We got out there and caught nothing but a couple of small bass, we kept one and moved on. We decided to go warm up on one of the islands. (It was no more than 40 dg. and raining.) WE get back out there and still have no luck. We fished for about 1 more our and decided to go eat lunch. There was not really any cover so we went back into the woods and got under a giant tree. We lunch and went back out. WE ended up catching 4 more good eating smallmouth and my grandpa caught a 19", 23", and a 25" walleye. We skinned out those fish and headed back for camp. it was a long rainy way back. We got to camp and relaxed for a little bit. WE soon started up dinner, and as you can imagine we, had a walleye and bass feast. We later had desert and soon went to bed.
