What a great morning. The weather was nice: clear, cool, sunny, and warming quickly. Breakfast was great. We had Jordan’s signature very thick sliced bacon and Cache Lake’s hash brown potatoes and bacon, egg scramble. Again we were impressed with Cache Lake’s foods.

We spent the day canoeing and fishing our section of Disappointment Lake. Angie enjoyed the day by fishing a bit, reading a bit, and taking pictures. She tried to get some loon shots but the loons never quite came close enough.

We trolled a bit, casted a bit and explored the lake. It was relaxing and pretty. The fishing was poor for most of the day.

I had recently read an article in the Wisconsin Outdoor Journal about post-spawn walleye. The article stated that walleye spawn on exposed flats with 1-2 feet of water. The wind provides the moving water needed by the walleye's eggs. Just north of our camp site, there was an exposed island that just broke the surface of the water. The article stated that the big walleye move onto the shallow wind-swept flats around dark.

Towards dusk, we trolled Rapala’s husky jerks around the island. We caught a nice 20” walleye right between the island and the camp site in about 8 feet of water. It was the first big walleye I’ve ever caught. I was surprised how sluggish the fish was. He was heavy but didn’t fight strong like a smallie or pike. The walleye was male that had not spawned yet. We ate the walleye for dinner…

We stayed on the island until it was nearly dark. We watched the sun set from the canoe. It wasn't an especially pretty sunset but the surroundings made up for it...

We relaxed around the camp fire and I enjoyed a nice cigar and a flask of port.
