Saturday, June 09, 2007 I, of course, cannot sleep very well unless I have 6 inches of foam or air under me, so it took a while for me to get to sleep. Although the loons also had other plans for us also. I had forgotten how loud their calls are here. I also heard coyotes in the distant for a short time. The plan today was simple - fish. After a breakfast of fresh eggs, we decided to venture down the lake a bit. As we paddled, then wind came up and made us think of the paddle back we would have if we made it to Thunder point. I had heard from others on the messageboard that the wind has to be perfect to blow Knife around and it must have been perfect. Our boys are strong, but they cannot paddle like adults, so we thought better of it and opted for a bay on the south side of the lake that was calm. We caught numerous smallies, most small, but a few here and there that were in the 15"- 19" range. My son and I found a beaver house on the shore just off a wind blown point, ideal for feeding fish. We anchored up and threw out a leech on a slip bobber, within 30 seconds, I had a 1.5 lbs walleye on the stringer. I casted into the same spot and caught his brother. Since my son had a jig tied on, I handed him my pole and he caught another 7 fish for a fabulous walleye dinner for eight! The paddle back was a little challenging into the wind, but we did it. I slept a bit better, but not like home. That night, one of our group hooked into a nice walleye. we took some pics and sent her on her way.
