Day 3-I found a spot in my bay for laker fishing but had only bites no good hookups, hardmouthed little suckers. I couldn't find my preserved minnows I'd bought for the trip and feared that they were with my whiskey in my gearroom at home. After fishing from 9-12, I loaded up half of my stuff, thinking I might move to another site but realized after review of the other southern sites on Tuscarora, my spot is just fine. I had blue skies all day so it was a great day for some traveling, I fished on the far western end (no luck) and came back to improve tent setup, dig in the stove and fish with the sunset. I enjoyed a jack and coke with the sunset and jammed to some tunes. Cooked up a vacuum sealed cordon bleu casserole, which is always a good bet. I had some fantastic stars this night and spent a good amount of the evening protecting my night vision and looking up. I always hold out hope for a UFO but no luck tonight; no northern lights either and no complaints.
