Report: Fabulous trip! Best small mouth action we have ever experienced. Several 17 inch bass with largest near 18 inches. Many 16 inch bass, too many of those to count. Short portage lake was also productive. Many "doubles" with good mix of small mouth and walleyes. We caught plenty of walleyes to eat on Fishtrap and the portage lake. Live bait was best but artificials worked also. Pike was alittls now but we managed to catch several, largest 32 inches.
