Wednesday, May 25, 2016 We woke up knowing we needed an attitude adjustment from yesterday if we wanted to catch fish, so we started the day with our second freeze dried meal and first ever BWCA hot breakfast, an egg skillet with sausage, peppers and hashbrowns. We both loved it and will be getting it again for future trips! Snarfing it down with some warm coffee hit the spot and we were ready for a good day. Even though it was windy again, we fished the entire western and middle side of Malberg and caught a good amount of smallies and northerns. The fish had moved off the warmest northern point to the southern shores with rocky out croppings which helped us a ton considering the wind. We talked with some younger guys heading to Alice, excited for walleye fishing as well as a group of guys coming back from Alice saying all the sites were completely full. We had a feeling Malberg would be full tonight as well. We cleaned some fish at, what I would call a 1 star, campsite to bring back for dinner. We also hit a spot on an Island east of our campsite where we saw some big sunnies to switch it up. Justin suggested we put on some micro jigs to catch the 1 lbs we saw the day before. We relaxed a little bit while we pulled in sunnys big and small. Made it back to our site in late afternoon for a dinner of fish and rice. We wanted to check out the paths and shoreline around our site since we hadn’t had a chance to yet and we found some great access to the lake for fishing. Justin suggested we try out a spot where 5 points of the lake converge which was wind protected, yet had current converging from 2 ways. His theory was predators sneak attack the bait fish at these points. Night #2 of slip bobbers and leeches and this time we had much better luck. Almost right away, Justin caught a nice, eater sized walleye. I am again jealous because I still had not caught one but after about an hour we caught 3 walleyes each, the largest being a 20” I reeled in. I also caught a few northern and a rock bass while Justin caught a nice 8 lb northern in 10” of water, 4’ off the shore. We went to bed that night all smiles, happy we had a great day on Malberg.
