Since we had to exit on Monday, and we knew where the Walleye were on Cross Bay, we decided to go back and hit our old campsite to pile up the eyes that night. The sites on Cross Bay were full, so we headed to Ham.

We met a nice German couple who were coming in to the BW with a small child, we exchanged pleasantries but a bit of a language barrier existed.

We found a nice campsite on Ham and located the Walleyes within a couple of hours. Not much size, but enough decent ones for another great walleye fry.

That night, a cousin of mine who happens to be an Iraqi War veteran of the 82nd ABN Div. caught his first ever fish. He went for the cycle with a nice Walleye, Pike, and Smalley....all from shore at our campsite the last night.
