Day 2 of 5
Tuesday, September 10, 2024 Fishing in the morning consisted of bass, bass, and more bass. We aim to catch walleye, only because we think they taste better, but we literally couldn't keep the bass off our line to even find the walleye. We did catch a couple northern too, nothing huge, but decent (25-30 inches). We spent some time exploring the lake a bit, and saw a bunch of trumpeter swans. The weather was amazing for mid September, so we were able to swim on our nice sand beach! We did find a walleye or two in the evening, and were able to eat some pan fried walleye that night.
