On Wednesday my son, and the rest of the camp, except for one other trip member decided to sleep in. While they slept we headed out to see if we could put a walleye pattern together. We picked up a few but nothing like the success we had experienced in the past.

One spot we visited had provided the single best day of fishing in the BWCA I have ever experienced. That day we bumped into a giant school of fish. We easily caught over 50 walleye that day in about 4 hours and returned the following day with nearly the same success. In fact, that day I caught a 27" walleye, a 41" pike , and a 20" smallmouth all within one hour. However, today was nowhere near that. All the areas we had been targeting were about 8-10 feet of water.

When we got back to camp we noticed the group camped across the lake had been more out in the middle of the lake and were catching a few fish. After lunch they packed up and headed out. That evening we moved out a little deeper and found a spot between an island and a point sticking out into the lake. WIth the wind direction from the SW it created some current/moving water thru the channel. We picked a few off including some decent size fish. Between 3 boats we probably caught about 30 fish. Looks like we had a good gameplan for the last day.

That night we had MRE's for dinner. I love to eat good food and MRE's just don't cut it for me but I choked it down. I was getting ready for "town food" and would definitely be ready on Friday to spend the day in Ely.
