Saturday would be another big travel day, so we packed up the rods after breakfast and headed for Tin Can Mike. It was another gorgeous day, mostly sunny with mild temperatures and we made great time paddling and portaging. We arrived at Tin Can Mike mid-afternoon, set up camp, ate lunch, and hit the water looking for dinner. Nick and I had three huge largemouths come unbuttoned before we could land them, but at least we were finding fish. As usual, a couple small pike made an appearance and provided some entertainment. I put a mid-20” pike on the stringer for dinner and decided to try my luck with a slip bobber and leech. Bobber down, hook set, fish on. A very pretty 20” walleye provided on a nice tussle on light tackle; on the stringer it went. After paddling across to a different point; bobber down, hook set, fish on, repeat. 21.5” walleye added to the stringer and we are set for dinner. We fish for a little while longer and head back to camp.

After having a great dinner, Nick decides to test the water and try and wash the grime off his legs. I opt for the swim trunks and a cannonball from the campsite provides a good splash and lots of laughs. After the initial shock of the cold water, my body was happy to get cleaned off a little bit. The other three followed suit and campsite 2095 provided us with some good entertainment.
