Woke up around 8 since I didn't get to bed until late. Explored the lake a little, did some swimming over on the cliffs, then headed back to camp to dry out. The wind picked up and it ended up being a pretty cold day. Made a nice fire and relaxed through the afternoon. The wind died down in the evening and I threw out some Jitterbugs as the sun was going down. I was equally as successful tonight, although I managed to lose a pretty big smallmouth along with my Jitterbug. I heard him jumping around the shore for the next hour.

It was a good day of rest and I knew I'd need plenty of energy for the Cherry/Lunar portage.
