Day Four - Saturday we planned on fishing just about the whole day. I set up our trolling rods; Lynn’s with a new style #8 Deep Diving Shad Rap and mine with a blue & white Tail Dancer #9. We started paddling towards the north side of the lake. I caught the first fish which was a northern pike, about 7 pounds. Then I caught another small pike.

We spotted a couple promising looking bays when we reached the end of the lake so we switched to our casting rods set up with ½ a nightcrawler and an orange or yellow jig. Lynn was hitting some nice bass, between 2 ½ & 4 pounds. It was great fun.

We noticed that the guys at the campsite were leaving so we waited until they had left and had lunch there, checking out the site at the same time. I could see why Dave liked this spot so much. A good view and some good fishing spots close by. After lunch we switched back to our trolling rods and Lynn started catching some very nice sized walleye. We trolled back and forth there for a while and then headed back down towards our site. In the narrows just before our site I caught a few nice pike and Lynn picked up another nice walleye.

We stopped by a small set of islands just north of our campsite and I cleaned the fish. We left the fish remains scattered on the rock in hopes of attracting a couple of the eagles we had spotted. Even before we got back to our campsite there was an eagle already soaring over the rocks, checking out what we had left for him.

I took out my regular camera and Lynn got her waterproof Pentax digital.

I got the stills and so did Lynn, but she set the camera on video and got some good “eagle soaring” footage. Now it was time to prepare dinner and eat. I had cleaned one smallie, one walleye and the pike. With so much fish we decided on absolutely no side dishes, just lightly breaded fried fish. It was great!
