I spent part of church tonight asking myself why I want to go into BWCA........Motor boats, more people and shallower water. (I did of course listen to the message......."If God be for us who can succeed against us"......good stuff, but I digress).

Very peculiar winter as far as planning my trip.......usually I know that I know where I'm going. But this years trip has been constantly evolving. Good thing I'm somewhat flexible if need be. Looks like I will take KF's thinking to heart and stay on the north side of Basswood. Plenty of water to get to know. That way when I'm an old (older) guy I'll hopefully know some decent spots to camp and fish only a portage or two in. Lots of batteries for the depth finder and some jigging spoons to try on the reefs for walleyes and smallies. Time to think outside the box for august fishin.

Thanks KF for the prod......it got me thinkin. :thumbup
