Day 6 of 7
Thursday, May 20, 2010 Got up, and had breakfast, and then headed out to fish about 8am. It seems like we are sleeping a lot more on this trip, not like the old days when I was up, and in the canoe before the sun came up. Oh well, it feels so good these days to sleep in, and after all I am on vacation. The trouble with that is, you miss the best part of the day. Another warm day, got to be above 80. We headed straight for the shallow bay, but the guys across the lake from us got there first. So we fished other holes today, picking up more fish as we go. Today is all about fishing. We haven't picked up a pike all week and that seems odd, but don't get me wrong I'm not complaining. We have come a long way in 25 years of tripping. Our first trip was really something on the portages, but we have really learned a lot. Our fishing ability has really come a long way too. About 6 pm we headed back out to fish, and it was a great night, we fished till dark tonight, and watched the sun disappear, it was yet another surreal moment. We got back to camp in time for Loon Magic. We both sat in silence, just listening. Tonight would be out last night out, so we sat by the fire till it died out.
