Day 3 of 8
Monday, June 10, 2019 We knew this would be a layover day, so we did more fishing and exploring. The fishing seemed best in the shallows for northern and smallies so that’s where we went. The wind picked up again in the afternoon, maybe even stronger than the day before. We waited it out some and ballasted the other canoe better to handle the wind and we made it back to camp in some pretty good rollers. At the time, this was his personal best smallie. We tried fishing humps in the middle of the bay we could see in the sun for walleye and also trolled around for lakers with no luck.
