Day 3 of 9
Wednesday, September 21, 2016 It was a little overcast this morning and it looked like it was going to maybe rain but we wanted to hit the water for some more fishing. Luke S and I decided on Rabbit lake while Luke P headed back to Hanson. It sprinkled for a while on our morning fishing expedition but nothing that forced us to stop. We trolled the whole lake with spoons and some other rigs but had no luck. We headed back around noon. As we came to camp we noticed Luke P had a big grin on his face. Rightfully so. He had 2 lake trout! We filleted them up and seasoned them with Parkay, salt, pepper, and Creole seasoning. We wrapped them in foil and cooked them over the fire for lunch. Amazing! We decided we needed more of that! Both canoes headed back to Hanson. We each caught a Lake Trout! We simply trolled with spoons over 50-60 ft of water, catching the fish suspended at 30-40 ft. Water temp was between 60 and 63 degrees. We went to check out the portage to Cherry lake to see how tough it was going to be, and then headed back to camp to feast again on some fresh lake trout. Half were done with Parkay, salt, pepper, and Creole, while the other half was basted in my homemade maple syrup with some salt and pepper. We wrapped them in foil again and cooked them over the fire. If I could capture that taste, bottle it, and sell it in a metropolitan area, I would be a millionaire. My belly was as full as it could get as I crawled into my hammock for another night under the stars.
