    Nice calm night anchored in Big Bay last night. After breakfast this morning, I headed out and set up to troll along the south side of Madeline Island. Two hours into my six hour day trolling, I caught a nice 26” Lake Trout. That’s it. I did have a couple of hits that tripped the line, but just the one caught. Still a good day with the one fish. Just wish Tom (C-Otter) was here to clean it for me. LOL. I definitely need more practice, which means I need to catch more. Lol. Pulled the lines in between Bayfield and LaPoint on the west end of Madeline Island, and headed to Quarry Bay to anchor for the night and clean my fish. Soon after pullng my lines up, saw a tug and crane barge. Pretty sure they were one of the ones I saw working on the Little Sand Bay breakwater when I launched Sunday.Read more
