7/12/09 well we are back on Alligator for another day of fishing, cloudy, fairly calm and once again more loons. All fish are holding near the bottom in deep water. Zach has the trap set for crayfish - a wonderful meal if you can get a few. Stopped by to see if the Butters were at camp or if Mr Peters was on the island at Bamfords. But no one home. We caught yellow perch, a salmon 16, a trout 15 and a 7 inch rainbow smelt (huge smelt). In fact it is the largest fresh water smelt I have seen. Bait trap produced some healthy shinners and crayfish. The crayfish returned home with us, a pleasent evening meal of trout and crayfish. We just got off the water before it started pounding rain and lighting - enough to blow out fence charger and direct hit to direct tv. Otherwise had a great trip on Gator - no other boats or perople seen.
