Here are some shots of our June 2006 Trip to Big Sand Lake up by Phelps WI
The lake was great and Cabin was beautiful.
It seemed like each person in the family specialized in a different kind of fish. Mitch was Bass boy, Rock and Largemouth. Dawn and Kate were the Crappie Queens. erin and Lauren were the Bluegill specialists and I did Ok ON Northern and caught a few nice walleye.
