The rough water on Sucker Bay this evening
Today it is even windier than yesterday, with a WNW wind at 25-30 mph blowing all day long. The lake is churning with large waves and white caps. I don't remember seeing the lake this rough.
I saw a sailboat on the lake this morning, but by 11:00 a.m. it was too rough to sail. The wind kept the air feeling cooler than the 74 degrees which was today's high. The sky was filled with large white billowy clouds, but we never any rain today.
Tim and Jackson left for home by 1:15 p.m. I hung out and read the Sunday paper, then eventually made my way over to the Newman's where we ate beer-can chicken, baked beans and potato salad -- a real summertime feast.
I came home at 7:15 p.m. and sat on the dock watching the waves pound the shoreline. This is the fourth straight day I haven't been out on the lake fishing, and I'm getting antsy. I hear the wind is supposed to be blowing like crazy again tomorrow, so I may have to wait until Tuesday to do any walleye fishing.
Nonetheless, it's great to be on the shores of Leech Lake.
