I woke up early and fished from camp while waiting for my son to wake up. I caught a decent pike (about 30") right from camp. When he was up and around we headed out to find the walleyes. It took us a little bit but we picked them off a few out at a time. The rest of the group managed a few also so it looked like we were going to be having fish for dinner.

We got back to camp and cleaned fish right before a light rain blew thru the area for about an hour. Once it passed we were treated to a nice double rainbow.

After dinner it was back out on the lake for some more fishing. We were starting to put a pattern together and the walleye fishing was getting easier. Dark muddy bays seemed to be the ticket.
