Nothing but Fog


Fished with Captain Dan. Temperature this morning was in the middle 40s and when we quit fishing it was in the upper 40s. The fog was so thick that the visibility was only 50 feet for the whole day. We heard that it was a nice day on land (sunny and in the upper 50s). The wind was out of the east northeast 10 to 14 knots with waves 1 to 2 feet. The water temp is 48 degrees. We started fishing just out side of Bolles Harbor in 14 feet of water, just wasting time waiting for the fog to lift. Caught a few small perch and we realized the fog was going to hang around for a while so we decided to head for the E buoy area. Fished there for 15 to 20 minutes without a bite so we made some moves into shallower water, without any luck. By this time we were close to the swamp so that is where we ended up for the day. The bite was slow but at least we caught some nice fish. Kept 16 perch for the day. The fog made for an interesting ride back to port and after a few attempts we made it back OK. This should be the last trip from a boat for this year.

Hi Doug,
I really enjoyed following your reports this season. Tried to call you a few times on the radio, but no response.

Say hello to John for me and have a good winter season.

Best regards,
