On Monday, Jay was back for another round of smallmouth fishing. The morning started a little slow with more rock bass than smallmouth. Then it picked up and we had another successful day with the smallies.
We finished the trip with a few drifts past the castle on Sleepers Island, which piqued my curiosity. I found a nice summary of the castle's history at the following link: https://www.lakeandislandproperties.com/2021/11/10/sleepers-castle-on-lake-winnipesaukee/
A few of the high points that I found interesting were:
The castle was built in 1911 by the same craftsman who built the Castle in the Clouds in Moultonborough.
The castle was modeled after the castles along the Rhine in Europe.
For a few years there was a property to the right of the castle where people could rent rooms with a dock space. It was referred to as a "Boat-el". The property is now under private ownership.
Whether you are fishing or just sightseeing, there are many points of interest around the lake. It was another beautiful day.
