This AM I thought I would try fishing for perch. Charlie had told me they were biting on the weed edge, however that did not prove successful for me.

This evening I had a date with musky guide Tanner Wildes. I was very optimistic I would catch a toothy musky. After all, I was on the body of water that had given up the current world's record musky. Although it happened sixty years ago, this lake is still a very popular musky lake. Well Tanner and I both casted and casted without so much as a follow.
We did see a nice display from a group of loons at sunset. It somewhat reminded me of the child's game ring around the rosy. I believe it was some type of territorial or mating ritual. I had heard that sometimes birds will be fooled by the daylight length at the end of summer and think it is mating season.
