Comments:

It was our second day of our weekend getaway and the temperatures had dropped and the winds had increased and change direction and were now blowing from the east. Today we added three fishermen to the group: Jeremy and his friend Dean, and Scott’s friend Chuck. We fished hard all day and except for a lunch break at our cabin at the Red Cedar Resort, there was no down time. The most consistent action we had was at the end of the day right in front of the resort. My boat accounted for about fifteen fish today and Dean and Jeremy in another boat only managed two fish.

Observations:

There is lots of migrating waterfowl around today. The upper end of Big Lake is very difficult to fish on account of all the dead rice stalks.
