Family Fishing Day on Basswood Chain of Lakes - BWCA

We packed up 2 boats and headed to the Basswood Lake Chain to have some fun fishing last week. Here we are at the Prairie Portage - Truck Portage getting ready to be pulled out of the water on the trailer.

A foggy early morning soon turned to sunny, blue sky with just a slight breeze.

Gavin won the prize for reeling in the 1st fish of the day. Shortly thereafter he reeled in a nice 24" northern pike in the boat.

In boat #2, Claire reeled in a 20" northern just before the lunch break. Spinner baits & spoons were doing the trick that sunny day.

Josh won the biggest fish of the day - 36" northern pike.

You know you have had a great day fishing when the kids don't finish off all the snacks/drinks you brought for the day and you never hear them say 'Are we going home yet?'!

Fishing is not the only hobby that has suffered at the hands of my work schedule right now.
