I woke up at 6:00 a.m. this morning. It had rained a little overnight. We fished around our campsite after breakfast. We caught a few bass and some real nice crappies. This afternoon we hiked through the woods to Jay Lake. It's a very small lake, but I had read that it's 40 feet deep. It looked like beavers had a home on this somewhat lost lake. We brought our fishing poles along and fished from shore a little with no luck.
