End Of May

Today is May 31st and where did the month go. I am about three weeks behind in writing. The Walleye fishing has been just great in my area of the lake. I look out to the Goose Island, Big and Little Hardwoods, Pine Point areas and all have been reporting good success most of the month. My favorite is to use a jig and minnow off the dock from about 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM. Many a limit have been caught this way. The good people at Oak Point Resort have reported that their guest are have good catches of both Walleyes and Northerns.

During the Memorial Day weekend we had a large fish fry for all the family and relatives that were up this way. We caught and fried about 35 Walleyes and they were just great.

Spring is here in the Oak Point area. We are finding lots of Wild Leeks in the woods, they are like a mild green onion. We have used them in dips, sandwiches, and in baked goods as a substitute for onions. We are also spotting Yellow Ladyslippers in the woods, we will find the Showy Ladyslippers in about another three weeks. We have two pairs of Bald Eagles nesting within a mile of where we live, but we are careful not to disturb them.
