Long Boat Ride

The weather man called for a nice day so I went fishing. Temperature this morning was in the upper 60s and when I quit fishing it was in the upper 70s. The wind this morning was out of the north at 5 knots and when I quit fishing it was out of the northeast 15 to 18 knots. The lake was flat this morning and when I quit fishing at 10:00 AM the waves were 2 to 3 feet. The water temp is 78 degrees and still no sign of the algae bloom. Made a giant circle around the lake with the first stop just past the S Buoy fishing off the humps. Only caught a couple of white perch so I moved to the Toledo Light House. Fished for about 15 minutes with out a bite so the next stop was Buoys 17 and 18. Again no bites so the next stop was up the channel to McDonald's. Caught some perch but caught just too many white perch. By this time the waves were stating to build. Moved around here a couple of times with the same results so the next stop was to the dumping grounds just west of McDonald's. Caught a couple more perch but by now the waves were 2 to 3 feet. Decided to pull the anchor and head back to port. Kept 6 perch which will be just enough for mom to have for dinner.
