Day 2 of 4
Saturday, October 04, 2025 Slept well and woke up before the sun rose above the trees to the east. Cash has made himself at home at this site. We ate a quick breakfast then readied the poles for some fishing. We fish all along the south shore from our site towards Friday Bay picking up a few bass and pike. Cash the dog has a short freak out about an end of a log sticking out of the water but crisis is averted and we keep heading to Friday Bay. Once we round the corner I give Austin directions on where to steer us. This is the first trip I was in the bow seat. This was a precaution we took so Austin could see me should I have a medical issue. I didn't mind it but my home is in the stern seat:) I wanted to to stay between 15 and 25 ish feet deep as we were trolling crankbaits now and it didn't take long before I connected on a dandy walleye. We fished the same area for an hour or so catching numerous walleyes and pike. The wind is starting to pickup again out of the south and we are growing hungry so we head back to camp to eat a walleye we kept and relax.
After a while Austin decides to take Cash for a walk and he harvests a spruce grouse. We clean up the bird and then hang around camp processing firewood, reading and relaxing.
The wind picked up throughout the afternoon and evening. We make it out fishing north of our site to the point that separates Thursday and Friday Bay catching a few bass and a decent pike.
