Back and better than ever

Greetings again from beautiful James Bay, Three Lakes, Wisconsin. Today, Thursday, May 14 was the official first day of the 2015 trip, although a few had already made their way up on late Wednesday night. Shaun, Gary, and Jim started the day off with a nice cooler full of crappies, walleye, and a few northern, the largest at 25" by Shaun.

Andy and Roger caught a few walleye, Andy with a 17".  Steve arrived at 4:30ish and landed a 25" northern on his fourth cast off the front pier. 

We had a fish fry for dinner in the new, gorgeous cabin.

It was a treat. Excellent new fish recipe by Harry the Happy Hunter/Fisher, and excellent fish. 

We returned to the lake at 7:15ish. Andy, Steve, and Shaun headed to Bass Bay where Shaun landed an impressively powerful 37" Muskie.

It was an awesome fish to see, and probably one of the biggest fish many of us have ever seen come from this lake.

Gary, Jim, and Roger fished around The Raft and caught a handful of smaller walleye. 

Everyone was pretty worn out and turned in by about 10:30. Good first day of fishing.
