Last week we had FAMILY members here from Michigan  to L. A.  Was so fun for all.  Berry picking was a hit!! Family card games, water sports and night bon fires.  The Nurses are family to each other also, and they thoroughly enjoyed each other.  Hot weather or cooler weather, nothing dampened the spirits here.  The fishing guys bonded as family too.

This week started off with a hit of the burger/brat greeting on Sat. night and Deb's rolls on Sunday morning were devoured.
FAMILY in camp this week too, and what a nice family it is.  They take turns doing the evening meal and enjoying each other.  They range from New York of a cousin to the twin cities. Fishing off the dock is continuing to do well, adding slowly to the fish meal.  The "Jim's" cabin are with a guide and they will have their fish fry for sure.  Our couple from Missouri here for two weeks are glad to get cooled off and try out the new boat.

The "boys" all from Milwaukee area, Steve, Shawn and Jim, arrived, snacked, and took off.  They happened across a hot spot and were back less than two hours later, with four nice keepers.  The boys had over 7 Walleye they released up to 25 1/2", many Northern and some nice Sauger.  They are happy campers for sure.  Back out they go after dinner!!

The Trevena family has had their share too.  Between Larry and Kay from Ks, and Matt and Suz from Penn., they are getting fresh fish for daily meals. These folks love Kab Walleye!  New grandma Sheila, Ks., baby sits so people can fish, so it all works! It is a busy week for the fish house again.

Weather has cooled nicely, but that won't keep the Nurses from the water sports.  They were still boarding, tubing and skiing into the dusk hours!  Kabetogama is a favorite!!  

We need to empty the fish bucket two times a day.  Cooled of on Tuesday but warmer weather is on it's way.  The fishing remains great.  Many are catch and release, but fun times catching them.

Our friendly Myrtle the Fertile Turtle who lays her eggs at PTC each year, has lost them all.  This is very sad, as we have watched them return to the water each year she has been here.  

All new folks in camp this week.  Another glorious, bright sunny day at Kab and all boats caught fish.  Many were too big to keep, as they were out of the slot, but lots of fun had by all.  Georgia L. from Rogers, and her 23", Karen W. and her 18+" from Langford, S.D.  A good start to a good week.

Once again Phil Hart has out done himself and picked out some of the BEST fireworks ever! Phil did something a little different this year and let others set them off so he could actually watch! Thanks to Phill Jr, Zachary, David B., and Rob P. for doing the work so Phil could watch.

We have been having a great week here in camp.  We have been surrounded by lots of family and friends. The week has bee fantastic for water sports and fun on the water. Watch for water sports fun pictures to be posted soon.

We have updated the website and are beginning to "blog".
Let the fish stories be told.  Let the pictures be shared.  Let the fun, random, exciting and unique experiences of our guests, families and friends be shared. 

We love having our new caretakers/managers Ken and Deb here.  Folks have commented on how friendly and helpful they are.  They have been doing a Saturday afternoon cookout and cinnamon rolls on Sunday morning.  Thank you Ken and Deb!  

We had a slow start mid May with the late ice-out, but that didn't discourage our "Cabanna Boys in the AARP" cabin!
Pete pushed the ice away from the dock so the others could get a line in out about 4'.  Actually caught some fish!  Then on Thursday, Mike L., and Tommy D. from Buhl, and Johnny R. from Hibbing area caught quite a few!  There is a photo in the gallery.

Our second week of the season found the Engbrethe folks catching a lot!  We have pictures on our Face Book of some.  The other folks in camp did well too, and weather held up nicely.  Over the Memorial Day week, the regular folks who
return every year, had a blast with the catching/fish fry/catching, repeat.  Thanks to all of you for returning.

Moving on, we had folks from Iowa and Indiana  here and they faired very well, but the cutest animal story was from Marlene.  She was fishing off the dock and landed a Northern.  She got it on the dock as Mark was in the cabin for a minute.  Up the steps comes an Otter, looking for a free meal!  Marlene shooed it away from her flopping fish because she was afraid of the Otter getting the hook and all the line.  That was a brazen, hungry Otter!  It swam under the dock and got the minnow on the line.  

The next few weeks were good fishing and stable weather for the most part.  Cody B. caught a BIG fish and was so
excited!  I told him to hold out his hands as to the size of the fish.  Mom will send a picture she took, but this is all we have
right now. 

The weeks after Cody's week, was still good fishing, mid to latter June. See the picture of Margaret with her 26" Walleye and the Miller family with all their pictures.  Mrs Miller, Jen, took most of their pictures, so she wasn't in many of them, but we are looking for one.  Melissa and Adam had successful fishing expeditions also.  The last night they got their limit of Bass, a fun week for all.
