The wind howled above me in the trees all night and it got down to 45 degrees. I slept soundly until 7:30. Moving slowly and in no hurry I made bacon, scrambled eggs and added dehydrated onions, red peppers, and mushrooms then topped it with shredded cheddar cheese. I made myself 3 cups of coffee as I overlooked beautiful Buck Lake. Photo courtesy of Bob.

Today is going to be sunny and 61 degrees. We are determined to have a fish fry. Bob is first on the water and I dilly dally until 11:00. I start by catching a nice bluegill on a way too large to eat crankbait. I must have snagged it! I then catch a 12 inch walleye that I also keep. Normally I would have thrown both of these back but we really want to eat fish and there's a serious cold front coming soon which is probably going to shut down fishing pretty good.

I stay out till around 4:00 and find Bob trying his luck from shore. In the boat he had better luck using small twister jigs catching 2 small northern and several walleyes and also a big bluegill.

We put some northern fillets in foil on the fire for the dogs and I broke out my Cache Lake foods fish chowder and we added the walleye and bluegill to it. What a feast it was. My journal says "... and we were stuffed!"
