We departed Eagle Island at 1100 for the short trip down McBean Channel, through narrow, shallow Little Detroit Passage and then down Whalesback Channel to Bear Drop. Arriving at 1430,  wehad a late lunch and then Don and I climbed into Lew’s dinghy to go fishing. SUCCESS! Three hours later Don had caught 2 nice sized bass I had two walleye and Lew had one walleye. I had the largest fish of the day hooked, a 20 inch walleye, but it slipped the hook just as we were netting it. What a disappointment! We grilled steaks for dinner and retired at 2200 only to be awakened at 0300 with rain and wind. The wind quickly dropped but it continued to rain heavilyuntil we upped anchor at 1100.
