We got up early and caught some nice fish including a 20" smallie out from camp and a couple eater walleyes. Smallie went back after a picture and the walleyes were brunch. We also saw an otter slowly swimming along the shoreline we were fishing which was very cool to see and hear. 

The boat traffic around this site and the lake in general was a bit unfortunate. I know it's allowed, but to see 3 boats fishing out in front of camp isn't exactly our idea of the BW. Neither is fishing at 7am to a peaceful lake only to hear and then see a boat come ripping down pulling a wakeboarder, circle, and then go back where they came from. We won't stay on this lake again.

Storms popped up just at dusk so we'd packed most our stuff already and fell asleep to rain.
