Sugar Sugar.... .....
Sugar Bay has been fun. Twins is tucked into a small cove by the river. Today is a foggy morning and we can hear the horns of the passing Tug Boats, actually called tows? But they are pushing barges up and down the river. It’s like parking in a driveway or driving on a parkway….go figure!
We shuttle back and forth between Matt’s Campsite and our anchorage for food and conversations. We’ve been playing a newer game called Rotten Apple….lots of fun. I usually drag some lures and take our time. Seems like we get a few bites each trip. We have 4 fillets in the fridge for dinner tonight and another two to add to the feast from our sunset trolling. Votes have been for packet dinners or paella and the latter looks like it may win out tonight. It’s our last supper with Matt as they intend to head home tomorrow.
We will try out another anchorage or two before going back to GTB for our third time. We are adding satellite TV to the boat and it get’s installed Monday. We hope to be able to use the service throughout the trip and for our RV travels as well.

Sugar Bay
We have moved down to Sugar Bay and found a nice cove off to the south side. Very scenic, deep and protected. Motored over to Matt's campsite for some cards and snacks before returning to the boat for dinner.
Matt and I fished the shoal nearby and picked up quite a few fish. Vaughn and I caught a Sauger (walleye?), then we picked up some silver and hybrid bass....maybe another paella shore dinner in order for tomorrow.....we have three fresh fish on the stringer already.
Had a nice walk in the woods nearby....lots of trees down from the recent winds/hurricanes? but the trails are not heavily used...would be fun to brush it out and bring a camper back in close to here. We are already planning to come back to LBL sometime with our new (old) Born Free camper and a fishing boat.....at $20 each per year we can afford that kind of campsite cost...my kind of backcountry camping....fire rings and picnic tables at some sites too!
Cooling down now...upper fourtys at night but 70's in the daytime and sunny...water cooling but was still 74 degree water yesterday afternoon.
