our fifth day at the fish camp started with another killer breakfast and soon after we all were on our way to our favorite spots. John caught a couple nice northerns and Joe and I went back to the same rock we fished the day before. Unfortunately, the walleye fishing was very slow and the wind calmed down so we switched to our trusty Williams wobblers to get some bass and pike, and we did just that. Nothing to write home about though. The wind started to pick up so we switched back to the walleye and caught a few small ones.

Up early for breakfast and securing our sportsman card and fishing license and off we went to our favorite fishing holes. Unfortunately the fish didn't cooperate as we'll as we'd like but we did catch a few. Pat caught a nice pike and we also had one 13 inch walleye that was donated to the Wednesday night fish fry (Thats how slow it was). Joe did catch a huge catfish but we threw it back. Dinner was great and that made up for the bad fishing. Not sure if joe and I will be heading back out but there's been talk. We all need a good nights sleep because tomorrow will be our day! Oh, and we need to do some rehydrating too as it was a very nice sunny day.... read more
