One of the things that Susan likes to do on this trip is fish. She has been getting fishing locations from just about everyone she talks to. Some of them have been really good locations.

One of the locations that I got from a boater on Beaver Island was the Big Bay de Noc. There are lots of little coves and bays that may have fish.

We started off the fishing in the morning at Fayette State Park. Susan had fished the night before and she spent a little bit of time trying her luck off of the main dock. Some small nibbles. The boat behind us pulled a small 6” bass from under the dock/our boat.

At that point we packed up and headed North East around Garden Bluff and into Garden Bay. Good news, there was a cluster of 4 fishing boats where the water level changed from 8 feet to 14 feet. We slowly moved up to about where they were. Susan fished for about an hour. No fish, but she did get some amusement from the trash talk that was going on between the other fishing boats.

Our next stop was off of Porcupine Point at the far end of Big Bay de Noc, near the mouth of Fishdam River. She fished for an hour and no luck their either.

Moving around to the west we came to Orgontz Bay. We got there about 5 PM and we anchored for the evening. She tried her hand again, but gave up about a half hour later.

Since this was our last stop of the day we had dinner. She made a great dinner of sausages so the day ended up pretty good after all.
