I think I have it. The erratic is on Maria. The pics that follow it are from Jesse.

The reef with the gulls looks like the one on Suz where I caught a 13 lb waldo about 25 years ago. Such beautiful memories…

Anyone interested in a used Sawyer Cruiser?

The funny thing is, I don't remember seeing such rock piles on that eastern end of Pickerel.  I'll be sure to look for them when I paddle past there this June.  That north shore horizon, however, is unmistakable.

Maybe I'll even try my luck fishing the rockpile.  I'm told that whenever you find "albino Bonaparte gulls" loitering about, imaginary lunker walleyes are never far away.  You simply toss your line in the direction the gulls are pointing. You're sure to snag a piscatorial trophy... but you got to find those albino Bonapartes first, that's the trick.

A common misconception is that the 'Albino Bonaparte' is white meat similar to common game fowl such as grouse or chicken when its flesh is actually a beautiful marbled red.  (gayaashk Ba-naaport midaaswi asiniikaa is Ojibwe for "Wagyu 10 of the rocks").  Often overlooked when filleting is a very tender cut of meat from the top of their shoulders to just under their wing.

Facing the same direction would indicate that either a storm is approaching or the daily arrival of the Dawson Trail beverage canoe.
