Day 3 of 4
Sunday, October 05, 2025 Woke up and went fishing back on Friday Bay and picked up more walleyes and smallmouth bass. We wanted to stretch our legs so we tucked into a cove with a beach south of the point on the NE side of the bay. Collected some firewood and inspected old metal cans and relics from the old timers. Saw some moose tracks too. After that stop Austin immeditaly catches a walleye by the point as we exit this cove. Headed back to camp to rest up and eat. Cash was tired and retired for a bit in the tent. The wind kept picking up throughout the day. We made it out fishing some to the north of camp but didn't catch much. We had an early dinner and watched and listen to the wind pick up. It was just about dark when we heard people yelling then we saw two canoes round the point coming from Thursday Bay. The wind was out of the south but if you've been up here enough you know that wind will get funneled in other directions from the topography. These guys were paddling HARD heading west into this wind. I was questioning their decision making. Then a third canoe rounded the corner and bee lined for our campsite. We went out to the point and yelled that if they need a break or anything to come to our site. They declined and took a break in a protected spot then continued on their way. I suppose they made it to wherever they were heading but boy they were really having to dig in to get anywhere at all. We went to bed and I think I slept as well as I ever have in the BWCA
