ONE HAPPY CREW.



Fished with Captain Eddie and first mate Ryan aboard the Fish On II. Our crew consisted of Jake, Chad, Neil, Sydney and Deb Barson. Temperature was in the lower 70s when we started fishing and when we quit fishing it was in the upper 80s. The wind was out of the Southwest about 7 knots with waves less than a foot. The water temp is 79 degrees.

Started fishing where we left off Tuesday 41 49 400 / 083 18 250. We ran jet 40s 60 feet back on one side of the boat and 70 feet back on the other side, I don't think it made much of a difference because both sides caught fish. The pod of fish in this area is not very large so the fish would come in spurts. We worked the general area all morning and kept 24 walleye between 17 and 22 inches. Lure color did not seem to matter. Every one had a great time fishing and then we went to Trappers and had them cook the fish up for us. This is an annual trip put on by Joe Barson and MDFA (Metro Detroit Flower Growers Association) that had 8 charter boats for the day that caught 176 walleye. Joe, you did a great job organizing everything and I appreciate being invited! Thanks Again!
