On Day 3 we decided to start out right in front of camp looking for what we thought was a hump that rose to about 5 feet surrounded by deeper water. I felt a little ashamed after realizing we were in the wrong bay to start with that in fact the hump we were looking for was a little farther east down the lake. We did manage a few walleye. We searched the bay out and did manage to make contact with a few willing fish. Slip bobbers and leeches were proving to be a good combination providing plenty of hookups from smallmouth and walleyes. Weather was starting to turn with wind blowing in and rain coming down. We paddled to the north end and thru some rapalas out. We tried to stay close to shore along the first drop. I enjoy “canoe trolling” and had good success all week long with either Blue Husky Jerks or Gold Original Floating Rapalas. In fact this night I limited out on walleye in short order primarily trolling these baits including one decent 23” walleye picked up around a hump on the north end. Dinner was military surplus MRE(s) which was another new experience. Evening discussions revolved around what the plan was going to be for the next day as we were considering heading into Ashigan the next day for smallmouth and then over to Ensign to finish out the week.

A few other members did well for smallmouth saving some for a picture before releasing them.
