Day 2 of 4
Thursday morning we slept in a little. Ate breakfast and probably got onto the lake around 10. The canoe with 3 people took off for Thursday Bay. Me and the other guy tried fishing Car Narrows. We got skunked there and took off for Big Current a few hours after we started fishing. Our crew met up in Big Current at the same time. They tried another spot in between Friday and Thursday bay as well and were skunked. We ate lunch at the campsite in Big Current and then went out fishing. Right when I dropped a jig to bottom a walleye slammed it. I started the battle and my buddy from the front yelled out doubles as he had one on as well. Pulled up a pair of 20s. That was a good way to start the new spot. We stayed there all afternoon and picked through the hundred some walleyes we got. Also got one 36-38 inch pike(just guessing, we didn't have a tape). We kept only what we were going to eat that evening. We got back to camp cleaned some fish and fried them up around 7. Then sat around the fire and had some cocktails.
