Day 6 of 9
Saturday, September 24, 2016 It did end up raining last night for a little bit. It made for a spectacular sunrise. We paddled to Eddy Falls and hung out there for a couple hours. Then we paddled to the far NE corner of SAK near the Hanson portage. We stopped at campsite 2041 for a mid afternoon Ramen noodle lunch. We then fished our way back. I snagged a nice Laker. I was drifting in 35 feet of water and was reeling in when at 12 feet he hit it hard and my line began zipping out. I love that sound! zzzzzzzz........... We ended up fishing into dark but didn't have much luck other than a couple smallmouth. We ate like kings yet again. It was another great day!
