Yes, I know I promised a bonus blog entry this past week. It was so crazy around here I simply NEVER found the time. Please accept my apologies:)
Fishing has certainly taken a turn for the better! We saw lots of nice eater walleyes, perch and northern throughout the week. We saw some HUGE bass as well. I have no photos to add to the Conservation Awards page but suffice it to say we had a camp full (campful?) of happy anglers last week.
Gruper and I went fishing Monday for a spell. We returned with one walleye (I caught none). Vertical jigging was not working. Our guests concurred: trolling or drifting with harnesses was the secret to successful angling. I heard about Rattletraps, etc. a bunch! We’re just glad something was working after that awful slow spell. Depths were still a bit sketchy…9-27′ was probably the range for walleye. Perch were hanging around 8-9′ in weed beds for the most part.
Bear baiting is officially underway! Trail cams are catching a bit of the action out there. As we know, it’s not just bears interested in the bounty:
We have a couple of nice bears sniffing around as well:
This one has a mouthful of something:
This one is smart…visiting just after dark according to the time stamp. That might explain why he’s so big:
Stay tuned for more fun with trail cams!
Bruce and Jean visited a couple of weeks ago. I have incredible blog fodder from their family’s visit! Bruce loves to fish and catches quite the variety:
I think Jean enjoys reading, sunshine and just being on the lake more than the actual fishing…
She is a kindergarten teacher (God bless them, every one). I’m not sure but I’ll wager that this is something she’s doing for her classroom:
Bruce and Jean and a good aunt and uncle:) They helped out with their six nieces and nephews during their week at TPC:
So Jean teaches kindergarten and Bruce teaches middle school math (oy). I wonder which one sees more of this in any given school year…
I’ll bet this was exciting…
I loved this glittery ride shot:
as well as Tom’s sailboat in the distance…
We had lovely sunsets during their visit. It was hard to choose a favorite so I chose a couple:)
I’ll make no promises about bonus blogs this week. That way it will be a surprise if I do one! Until next time…
