Hard to believe but today is the last day of this year's trip. We were interrupted by rain more this trip than in recent years. And weather, once again, is the topic of the day today. Overcast and cold (45 degrees) with light rain/mist. Needing fish to eat, the determined fishermen head out once again.
Joe and Andy (with Joe at the helm) start at The Narrows but catch only a few there. Then on to Rockface where success is realized - two nice walleyes - Joe's 18" (2.2#) walleye and Andy's 17.5" (2#) walleye. Several more fish caught, and then we move on to Matt's Cove and Joe brings in another 17.5" (2#) walleye. Further fishing at David's Den produces only a few fish and this crew heads in for dinner.
Bill and Mike fish The Rock at Rapala Reef and the creek entrance in Big Bay and find fish there once again.
New final day dinner menu - baked "fried" walleye; creamy, cheesy mashed potatoes. Outstanding! Needs to become the standard final meal - might even replace first fried fish dinner as well.
Fishing Done in by Weather
Cold enough again today to need a fire to stay warm. That is our second fire. Not what you would expect for a "summer" fishing trip.
Too cold and windy to fish, so we call it a trip at mid-day. Mike fishes off the dock and catches 8 walleyes, including two 17"-ers!
Sea lion sup is a sport in which participants stand on a board and paddle out into the ocean to surf. The sport is similar to stand-up paddleboarding, but participants ride on a sea lion instead of a paddleboard. sea lion sup
