(All photos left to right) Mona took this photo of John jigging with a round jighead and minnow on the Barber Pole Reef. This is the last fish we need to go home with our limit of Walleye. Now we had to switch over to try to catch Northern Pike or Perch.

Mona checks the boat line to make sure it is secured properly so we don’t loose it. You can’t tell by the water in this photo but the wind is blowing pretty strong that day. Once the boat is secured Mona comes to the center of this small island.  We assume it has a name but we named it “Moose Island” because we ate lunch there with some friends we were traveling with back in 1996. We found some fresh signs of Moose that he left behind. We have yet to see a life Moose up there after 5 trips to Ontario.

Mona is taking a break from fishing as we slowly motor around the Bay where the Lodge is located. Temple Bay Lodge as seen from Eagle Lake.

On our last day of fishing we had a dock hand take this photo before we took all of our gear up to the cabin.  One of the meals we had for supper one evening. We actually had steak two night we were there.

The waitress caught this picture. We shared our table for meals with the same guests all week. There was a couple from the Wisconsin Rapids area and a couple of guys that got picked up in Appleton.

Mona poses with one of the walleyes she caught. This one appears to be a keeper. Mona measuring another fish on the board which shows us the slot sizes to keep.

John checks out Facebook in the Lodge on our laptop. Mona didn’t forget her books as she’s caught here reading while sitting on the porch of our cabin.
