Turtle Island


Went down to work on the boat today and I ran into Captain Eddie (Hollywood) and his first mate, Rob. I helped them launch his boat and then they asked me to go fishing with them, so away we went. Temperature this afternoon was in the upper 50s with a northeast wind 5 to 10 knots. The waves were about a foot and the skies were blue. Our first stop was the humps in Michigan waters not to far from Toledo Light house, where Rob caught his fish yesterday. Fished there for 45 minutes and we only had one hit so we moved half way between the light house and Turtle Island in 9 feet of water. Caught a couple of fish there and then we moved closer towards Turtle Island and we found the fish. It did not take long to get our limit once we were on the fish. We kept 12 walleye and 1 nice perch and had about 8 other fish on that we lost. All the fish were caught using blade baits, either casting or jigging.
