Just A Hand Full

Fished with Joe. Temperature this morning was 74 degrees and when we quit fishing it was 72 degrees. The weatherman called for a nice day with low humidity. When Joe came to pick me up this morning it was raining cats and dogs with a lot of lightning. As we drove towards the marina the rain was coming down harder. We stopped and bought some shiner's at the bait store(very small one's) just in case the walleye fishing was slow. We sat around the marina for about 45 minutes and then it started to clear up so away we went fishing. Headed towards the area that we fished on the last trip. Set lines 75 feet back with wiggle warts and trolled towards the Toledo Water Intake. After 30 minutes of no fish and the weather looking worse we pulled lines and went perch fishing by buoy 17 on the shipping channel. Started to catch a few perch and then the wind started blowing out of the northeast at 20 knots. It started to rain again and the waves were building to 3 feet so we decided to call it a day. It was a tough day right from the get go. Kept 6 perch and when it was all said and done we were glad to be back on shore.
