Nice report and beautiful pics. The pic of TubeBabe fishing just out from the half-submerged vegetation is right off of where my two oldest boys and I camped last weekend. We took home some garbage from the area; hopefully you found the area pristine and clean.
Boy do I love that lovely body of water. E. Lake fish aren't usually very big, and they fight like wet noodles, but their vibrant colors can't be matched. And the scenery, well, you know what I mean.
Last year I caught some really nice fish using minnows, but this year after more than one trip, I've only caught one fish off a minnow. For me, the trick has been worms mostly, fished in various creative ways to get some takers, and occasionally PowerPutty. (I think you and the 'Babe are a bit too refined for PowerPutty, though.)
Sorry that Mrs. Dude didn't catch a thing on her b-day, but I'm sure she appreciated being up there on her home turf to celebrate being one year older.
