What's Your Typical Day?

[T-Bone]

Dag...I'm getting itchy to get up there and start fishing for them pesky 'eyes. Not enough trip reports posted yet. So to stir it up a little, I'm interested in hearing about your (or your group's) typical day when up in the Kipawa area. We have two schedules, as outlined below:

Early-AM Fishing
5AM: Wake, coffee, hit lake by 5:30AM
9AM: Back at cabin, eat something/anything, get the Beer Train rollin' and have a few beers
Noon: Nap for an hour or two
1:30PM: Quick outing to see if any fish are biting
3PM: Back at cabin, more beers, relax
6PM: Eat dinner
7PM: Evening walleye bite
9:30PM: Back at cabin, couple beers, nighty-night
5AM: Repeat

NO Early-AM Fishing
8-9AM: Wake, coffee, eat, shuffle around and BS for a couple hours
10AM: Talk about heading out fishing
11AM: Pack cooler of beers, go out fishing for a few hours
2PM: Back to cabin, beers, more beers, more beers, relax
5PM: Start thinking about dinner
7PM: Eat dinner with beers
7PM: Pack cooler for evening walleye bite
9:30PM: Back at cabin, beers, more beers, more beers, howl at moon, laugh until jaw hurts
1AM: Hit the rack
8-9AM: Repeat

The latter schedule is employed most days, most years...as embarrassing as that is; but we enjoy ourselves and catch plenty of fish to satisfy that itch...make no mistake about that.

Usually I getup for the morning fish and most days I have to fish by myself in the morning.  Around 9 I will head in for breakfast and pack the cooler for the day.  So after breakfast we will load up for a day of trolling lake trout and around noon we will pull the stove out on the front deck and one of my kids will cook us lunch while we continue to troll.  Between 4-5 we make our way back to camp for supper and then out for an evening walleye fish.  The routine varies a little depending if I have a few beer in the evening and the morning fishing doesn't sound like fun.  Everybody have a safe and fun trip this season.

I have to admit that I cannot change anything.
Your schedule is pretty well the same as ours.

In my case, there is less beer consumed and more water.
I might throw in a ceasar or two in between.

The morning , afternoon and evening shifts are typical for us for the week.
We seem to catch bigger fish in the afternoon most days.


7days

Oh, @RHYBAK , 7 days to go. Trade ya? 

[RHYBAK]

Oh, @RHYBAK , 7 days to go. Trade ya? 

Nancy
Are you kidding me.
Have you not seen my new ride that needs to be christened with walleye slime?

Still 7

[Nancy]

Hey @RHYBAK, can't blame a girl for trying. Yes I did see your new ride, SWEET!!

[BH]

T-Bone, our schedule is pretty much the same except there is a lot more beer consumed now that my son is older and my brother-in-law joins us on the trip.  Correlation between the amount of beer consumed and fish caught is inverse. 

Can't wait for my trip on 7/22!

T-Bone, Your schedule is perfect!  Don't change a thing.  Just keep the beer flowing.   BH, Where will you be staying the week of 7/22?  My crew will be at Smith Bay

[Oarin]

Have a great trip BH. We'll be leaving Taggarts, cabin 4, the day you get there. Go Zips!! T-Bone we're mainly the on the water by the crack of 9:00 or 10:00 group. 

[Fort Wisers]

@T-Bone great schedule, very organized, it's obvious you and your gang are pros and know what you're doing.
Only change/addition I'd make to your schedule is to throw a few whiskeys into the mix.....

[BH]

We'll be at TBL cabin # 3 the 22nd - 29th. 

[Canuckbass]

@RHYBAK What's the dates and where ya staying?
I've been working everyday but should be all caught up by the 16th, may sneak a quick trip to fish camp.

[SgtCrabby]

Sounds like a perfect days agenda to me.  About what we do.

[Canuckbass]

Looks same except Baileys and coffee added in and renovating 10am to 4pm. Sneak onto lake odd time if lots of hands on deck helping out.
