Going to LOW first week of September, I caught the FW watching fishing shows on Sunday, so now she wants a shore lunch 
I sure would hate to dissapoint the FW 
So with this being my first time fishing for walleyes on LOW, I need some advise on how and where to fish, and if I am lucky enough to land some eaters, how the heck does one do a shore lunch on LOW?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Zippel Bay here we come 
If the weather will permit the trip, I would suggest heading out to the Islands. There is a couple great places to pull up and have shore lunch. Just keep an eye of the weather being as It wouldn’t get you many points with FW to get her her wish, and then have something brew up and make it a misserable trip back.
It’s not a bad ride at all from Zipple and once you get up there, it’s beautiful. Fishing should also be good right out in front of Zipple, or head east towards the gap.
Fishing should be really good around islnds that time too.Matter of fact, that would be one of my main tager areas.
Do you have a chip for LOTW’s? That would help!
Have a great trip and hope you get to full fill her wishes.

Since talking with your FW I’m sure she was watching the fishing show to ensure she caught some fish while you were napping.
Just my take on our conversation.
Don’t forget the Hamm’s! 
Are you planning on taking a gas camps stove or using a wood fire?
The N end of Garden island is all set up for Shore lunch. There are a few fire rings and outhouses. garden is close to 25-30mi from zipple if I remember. You cant miss the SL area as it is right by the safety hut on Garden.
Cast iron, oil, knife, breading, can of beans, can opener, ppr plates, ppr towles and maybe some taters and baccon if you want to get fancey. Maybe a 1×6 to clean fish on too.
It really is a great time and a good break in the day. I am headed up tonite and will let ya know how we did.
Catch your fish.
Find a spot that has a clearing where you can build a fire and shoreline where you can land your boat
Locate firewood.
Start fire using charcoal lighter fluid if wood is damp
Clean fish, wash fish and place in ziplock bag
Place grate (buy a weber grate at Fleet Farm for $10) over fire supported by rocks or logs you found.
Start coffee (Cowboy coffee can be made in an old metal coffee can or similar container.)
Cut up potatoes and onions.
Put frying pan onto grate and heat up bacon slices to make bacon grease in which to fry potatoes. Add potatoes and fry until done.
Open can of beans and put on far edge of grill to heat
Pliers works well for moving beans around.
While potatoes are cooking put slices of bread onto grill and make toast. Make sandwiches with slice of cooked bacon and slice of raw onion for hors de ouvres with coffee.
When potatoes are done place them in kettle and cover with tin foil or lid and place on far edge of grill to keep warm.
Put a little oil in the fry pan and heat it
Add eggs to bag with fish filets. Take filets out two at a time and place in another plastic bag that contains pancake flour or whatever. Shake the filets in the flour and put them into the hot oil.
Serve on real plates with real silverware.
Have fruit cocktail for dessert.
(I may have missed some things that are important and I definitely missed lots of things you can add to a shore lunch…)
You can get an inexpensive giant tool box to carry your shore lunch gear. The grate and the frying pan need to be wrapped up in giant garbage bags and will be difficult to store in your boat…
Have a great trip.
Not sure if it is in the budget, but if it is you could hire a guide for a day and them do your shore lunch. You would have the lunch she wants covered as well as learn where the fish are for the rest of your trip 
Now that I’m thinking about it…and after what Jean was saying…
Take your catch back to the resort. While they’re cleaning your fish, take a 
nap and at dinner time have the resort cook them for you.
HJ-
thanks for the virtual back to the mid fifties on Kab. Miss Dad alot. We didn’t have plastic bags back then; wow how much they have helped. aluminum scout packable kit, but the big pot was never large enuf for enuf oil and dad hated carrying cast iron. See, there is improvement in life…
I’ll have to check with the resort and see if I can rent a burner and cast iron skillet.
On the other hand the FW favorite show is survivor, I just might have to see if she can start a fire with two sticks and a rock.
I am a little leary about being alone on an island, she can still swing a pretty good skillet.
So back to fishing for food, trolling shorelines, reefs, basin areas, live bait rigs?
Quite a few resort reports here:
You could always amend the shore-Lunch to 612-er style. That entails bringing your fillets to the resort or restaurant for dinner/lunch and have them cook em for ya!
