Friday, June 09, 2023 We pulled down our tarp and hammocks and after a quick breakfast of oatmeal we set out for the portage to Cross Bay Lake. With a steady breeze from the north and no congestion on the portages we made good time through Rib, Lower George and Karl to our destination. The first couple of sites we checked were out of the wind but very buggy. We ended up taking the western most site on Long Island Lake. This site is located on a narrow peninsula and had good wind exposure to help keep the mosquitos at tolerable levels. After setting camp we got out for some fishing. Pike and small mouth seemed to be found at every probable spot and we enjoyed a few hours of action before turning in for the night.
