Saturday: Crappie sun, crappie weather, crappie fishing

Decent day of fishing today, but not quite as good as Friday. The weather today was perfect; mid-70s, sun, and minimal wind. Andy, Roger, and Nick went out fishing early with minimal success. Meanwhile, JR prepared omelette ingredients and fed the camp in waves as they arrived in the kitchen and came back from fishing. A+ omelettes as always!

Shaun and Steve went to various brush piles in the early afternoon with mild success and came in with a cooler of 6 crappies and Steve added two more walleye. Shaun and Steve also saw a large Musky patrolling and swirling around in a brush pile in Bass Bay. Steve caught the walleye in the north channel, and then both Shaun and Steve went back to Bass Bay proper and hammered fish in the honey hole from 3 to 4, with Steve adding another 19.5" walleye, which was released.
Dan, Gary and JR spent the afternoon in the south channel and caught about a dozen crappies. 

We all came in to eat Nick's chicken lasagna for dinner, served with Caesar salad and garlic bread.
After, Nick, Andy and Steve tried various spots with little luck to end the night, and Danny, JR, Gary, and Shaun took out Gary's newly acquired pontoon boat, complete with American flag, and added a few more walleye to their cooler. 

Steve and Shaun filleted their fish while Gary fried up more fish. Everyone ate, despite not being very hungry. It was a great end to the day of a great trip of fishing , for both fish caught and weather! Another year in the books, as the remainder of us are leaving early on Sunday.
