15 minute break, jigging edges of muskie structure :)
This... Stop and smell the roses on LOTW fellas..I too would pound 14 hrs a day... usually caught 4-5 muskies every day.. now I pound 8-10 hrs a day often do shore lunch or come back to the cabin for lunch... still catch 4-5 muskies a day on average

Location: Contrarian Island | watch your locator..many musky spots you pull up on you will see walleyes...last week we were pulling up on a rock hump, I saw walleyes.. Brett casted for skis, I pounded a couple eyes...then we both fished eyes and got our eaters for the day and it is fun to catch some walleyes and smallies ... it's not hard to catch eyes up there ...

| We used to live on junk food for a week so we had more time to fish. "We can eat at home, let's FISH!"
These days, I'd rather have a big breakfast, light lunch, and a nice hearty meal at the end of the day. The fish aren't going anywhere, and it's much more enjoyable when you have a good meal in your belly and a good meal to look forward to after a day on the water. |

HA! That's part of the Canadian experience- Always take TP !!!... Greasy potatoes, beans and walleyes...lead to the exploration of small islands with sand cups to park the boat

It's Canada, walleyes are pretty easy to come by. Pike are usually everywhere as well.
Last trip up to Canada i brought all the food. I spent $40 for two people to eat for the week. We were stuffed all week and never missed prime time fishing. |

Unless you're alone, no need to park and listen. Partner Erik seems to like the canadien shore experience. Wife does too. I drop him/or her off on a nice rock shelf island(we have several where we fish), and pull away for awhile while they enjoy the Canadien experience. Erik usually comes back with a couple handfuls of rasberries. At least i think that's what they are.

| We do big breakfasts around 830, sandwiches in the boat, and dinners that are quickly prepared after dark. Pulled pork sandwiches, sloppy joes, burgers, brats, spaghetti, chili, steak, etc. pre-cook the components that take longer. We don't get out before 9 as half the fun is BSing til midnight over a few cocktails. |

Location: Forest Lake, Mn. | An interesting youtube channel I came across is all about outdoor cooking using Dutch Ovens. Here is their version of a Mountain Man Breakfast.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARKTRxaDc64
What strikes me about a lot of their cooking is the similarity to a crockpot. Throw everything in the dutch oven and go fish. Come back and food is ready. This would really work for those group outings where 1 boat does the cooking each night. |

Dutch ovens do a great job. Keep the cast iron seasoned and they are every bit as good if not better than a crockpot.
One question though, you aren't seriously cooking on an unattended fire so who gets to stay behind and mind the fire/charcoal while everybody else is out fishing ? |

I thought a dutch oven was when farting silently in bed, followed by quickly pulling the covers up over the head of the Mrs.

Oddly enough we have an island named exactly that for that exact reason!
FYI there are rasberries there too, but much better for blueberries |

| Dude... We just caught three fish. You really wanna go up there NOW and take a crap so it's known as "#*#* Island" for the rest of our lives?!
"Nah. You're right. I guess I can hold it. You ever caught a fish off that island over there?" (pointing to adjacent island)
"No. That island SUCKS. You can #*#* it up all you want!!" |

| When we go to Canada, we primarily eat fish. But, we usually have one non-fish meal. Sometimes it is as simple as spaghetti.
This year I brought mild italians. I put them in a large pot and added a can of tomato sauce and a small jar of Prego spaghetti sauce. Cut up green peppers, red peppers and onions. Let that all simmer for about 40 minutes. Boiled up some spaghetti and served. Delicious. And a nice change of pace from fish. We had plenty of leftovers, too. |

Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | This was the intended menu for this years trip. Unfortunately someone's helper's didn't load the big giant tote with all the dry goods and seasonings...we adapted! Nobody went hungry.. yes, some also did shore lunch. Its all good in fish camp. I'm like BenR...I ate enough C-Rat's in the Army, still have a P38 on my key chain though!
Have fun!

Location: Hayward, WI | Thanks for the suggestions guys. A few things we had were burgers and frozen oven fries, steak & corn on the cob, spaghetti & garlic bread, tacos, fajitas, a frozen pizza night.
Breakfasts were pancakes a couple days, our version of Egg McMuffins, toast and eggs, and always bacon or sausage.
Most of what we made went together pretty fast, but I like some of the ideas that have been listed. Nice to have some ideas for variety.
We've been lucky so far - no S&^% islands have been named yet in the two years we've gone up there. Have a couple hunting areas given similar names though...
