A small lake in Marinette Wisconsin named Lake Julia which had only private access. We went every Spring there for a while. Tomtom would row, he used two rods off the back with bobbers, and rowing through the cabbage weeds we went. I cast off the front for Pike nad Bass till he got into the Crappie, then I switched rods and cast a bobber for crappie. Good times. Tomtom has a flat bottom boat at a friends house on that lake. At that time we used a canoe.



Here's another pic taken at same time. I'm sitting on a bucket I still have. It's a swivel camo hunting bucket. I also have what I call floaties on that canoe. It's pool noodles over conduit which is bent and screwed to the gunnels to prevent tipping. Worked great.

You're still the #1 gewber.....
'96 I was living in Glen Ellyn, just north of the Morton Arboretum.
i hated the commute to the South Loop everyday.

That’s awesome.
We went to the Lake of the Woods every summer arriving on July 1.
Canada’s Independence Day.
Little town called Sioux Narrows was the closest thing to us being about 10 miles south I think. We stayed until a week before Labor Day. Us kids had longer summer break back then in the 60s and 70s.
No TV and of course no phones.
Only thing to do was fish or read all day so my choice was to fish.
After I was able to drive I took my own boat and later in life several of my adult friends went with me also.
I hope to get back there before I’m gone and take the grandkids.
It’s a 23 hour drive 1 way.
Great memories for you looking back I’m sure.
Thanks for sharing
Chuck

Here's a better pic of that canoe. Grumman square back.

Sioux Narrows, if I'm not mistaken, I took a "fly in" fish trip outa there once.

Glen Ellyn, ritzy neck of the woods, eh! lol
(My service manager uncle lived in Glen Ellyn, I stayed there at his house for two summers to work at his shop, learned all my mechanics there).

Beautiful little lake.

We Walleye fished and caught some Smallmouth too, on the Menomonie River.
