Report


Saturday, August 02, 2014 Luke, Zach, and I stayed up all night and headed out to do some early morning fishing. Luke redeemed himself by catching a eater size walleye. I strung up the walleye and we all just crashed in our sleeping bags. We woke up at 10 a.m and packed everything up. After consulting we did not wanna go the same route we did getting to Ima so instead of going back towards disappointment we went west towards abinodji and boot. We left camp at 3p.m and got to boot at around 8.
