We got up around 6am. It was beautiful, cool morning. We had coffe, pancakes and thick sliced bacon for breakfast. Tt was great.

We wanted to fish. We headed about 200 yards away from the site to a fairly large island. We found a spot with good action. We quickly caught about 10 nice smallies and 2 small pike.

Last winter, I had become excited about Zulu baits. There was an article in the BWJ that explained how good they are for the BW. I could hardly wait to try them. Nearly all the fish so far were caught on the Zulu's. It is hard to match the excitement of topwater smallies...

We went back to camp for lunch. We had an "All American Burger Wrap" from packitgourmet. It had potential to be great. But I added about 1/2 of the water called for on the package. It was pretty dry... I will try it again though...

We went back out fishing and caught a few more on the Zulus. The wind started picking up so we headed back to camp.

I wanted to fish off of a point at the campsite. But my dad was already relaxing in another spot. So I didn't want to be antisocial. I tried fishing with leeches and slip bobbers from his spot...

Immediately, I caught a 27" pike that we invited to dinner. On the next cast, we got a 33" pike. For the next 15 minutes, we couldn't get the leeches back in the water fast enough. We wound up catching 3 pike and at least 4 walleye. The largest walleye was 24'.

Then the fish shut off and we relaxed.

We had fried fish and Cache Lake bread for dinner.

We relaxed with a nice cigar and a little port after dinner.
