Sunday, May 22, 2016 Layover day on Amber today. We start the morning with coffee and protein bars before heading over to an inside turn Justin thinks will hold some walleye. As we paddled over to the spot, the winds started to pick up. We both hope the wind doesn’t ruin our day of fishing. Trying to fish a specific spot with the wind blowing us around is certainly challenging but Justin ends up catching one walleye before we switch over to bass fishing. We fished the entire shoreline that we could considering the wind. The smallies weren’t hitting as well as our late June trip last year but we still pulled in quite a few with northerns mixed in. Justin even snagged an 11lb Northern which got our blood pumping. We stop on a nice rock for a lunch of summer sausage, crackers and cheese and I fillet our fish for dinner, one smallie and one walleye. We always make sure we only keep as much as we will eat. We continue fishing a few more hours with more of the same, some smallies and northerns here and there but man the wind just kept getting stronger. We head back to camp to regroup for a little bit. I gather a little more wood while Justin attempts to make a bow. We decide it’s worth it to try to hit the walleye at dusk again since the wind seemed to die down a bit, Justin caught another one but I’m still not on the board. When we get back to camp, we eat up our fish fillets but aren’t hungry for a side to go with it. We decide that although the site is great, the fishing on Amber isn’t good enough to satisfy us for another day. Tomorrow we will pack up to head to Beaver or Fisher. Side note; Justin lost his favorite pocket knife randomly today. Let me say, this isn’t the first time he has lost one. After looking literally EVERYWHERE it could be, we were baffled!
