Labor Day Weekend, Saturday



Fished with Captain Doug Sowa. Temperature this morning was in the upper 50s and when we quit fishing it was in the middle 70s. The wind was out of the north less than 5 knots with no waves at all on the lake and just enough breeze to keep the bugs away. Water temp is 69 degrees. On the way out to our fishing spot we saw a pack of boats halfway between Turtle Island and the Toledo Light House so we went over there to give it a try. Stayed there about 20 minutes and only caught a couple of small perch so we went out to the number 13 buoy on the shipping channel. Spent about 45 minutes there with only some small perch so we made the move to our hot spot from last year (41 51 900 / 083 11 070). Started catching fish right away - we still had to sort through them to keep what we had, but at least we caught some nice perch. Kept 42 perch between 8 and 11 inches. Our only problem was that once we found the fish we just ran out of time to fish for them. Today was just another beautiful day to be on the water.
