LOTW 2019

Lake of the Woods 2019.  Headed up Monday morning, June 10th, came home Thursday morning June 13th.  Stayed at Birch Point Provincial Park.  Sweet campground.  Great people, great site, great fishing right out front. Arrived and fished first day, caught 10 fish between the two boats on spinners/cranks.  Day two was shut down by a thunderstorm.  Day 3 was a great day with Shane and Josie both catching walleyes all on their own on cranks.  Josie notched two over 18" and Shane reeled in a nice 19 that came as part of a double with Jadon.  We tented and friends Mark, Ty and Tatum slept in their camper.  Weather was great, no hotter than 70 and just a little bit of rain that second day.  The morning that we left, the wind blew hard into Buffalo bay and fishing was bad.  Talk of the Natives taking over the campground and shutting it down next year so we may have to look for a different spot for spring trip.  Kids had fun.

Jadon caught most of the fish.  Was really helpful with the little ones.  Last trip for him most likely for a while as he's off to see the world.  

Campground was amazing.  Will be sad if it's shut down as it is enjoyed by many.

Excel boat and 65 horse two stroker exceeded expectations.  Handled well in big water.  30 mph easy at 3/4 throttle.  Need a trolling motor.

Shane's first legit eye.  19".  Then he text his mom the message below.

Lots of snacks and drinks.

Josie the eye slayer.

Two good young men. 

Can't we just smile?
