SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

====================

Everyone else was out deep, so we decided to be different and gave shallow browns one last try for the year - turned out to be the right thing...

First brown came in 10 FOW - smaller than a lot of perch that come from the lake, then we took three big browns with a couple football sized smallies mixed in, in 19 - 21 FOW. Fish weights: 11.5, 13, and 17 lbs. Definitely quality over quantity this time out.

Went back out Sunday morning and saved ourselves from a skunk with a cookie-cutter in 10 FOW in front of Moon Beach.

Way to go! Nice lookin Browns!!! That's a nice spot out by the bluffs. Did you camp at the park there? Thinking of heading there in the next couple of weeks with the old sylvan, couldn't get out of the chute last time in April cause it was too rough. Ended up staying in Fairhaven and trailering out to Oswego for the browns.

Yep, camped with family and friends at the state park, had a great time on and off the water. Took my grandson and his friend (5 year olds) after some panfish in the bay. Went on a couple family boat rides around the bay, camp fires and adult beverages in the evenings, and got out trolling early Saturday and Sunday mornings. Couldn't have asked for better weather for a Memorial Day weekend camping trip. As a bonus, the Monday thunderstorms actually held off until AFTER we got the tents packed up!
