One For the Pond

Fished with Captain Dan. Temperature this morning was in the upper 30s and when we quit fishing it was in the lower 60s. The wind was out of the southwest 12 to 15 knots this morning with waves 1 to 2 feet and after a couple of hours the wind became variable with waves less than a foot. The water temp is 53 degrees. We are still fishing out of Sterling State Park because Bolles Harbor is closed. Started fishing by buoys # 1 and 2 off the Raisin River. We made four moves in this area with out a fish so we went back to the spot we have been fishing the last 3 weeks, which is 2 miles southeast of buoys 1 and 2. We started to catch fish right out of the gate but we had to sort threw them. Our goal was to keep nothing smaller than 8 1/2 inches. We stayed here and put up with the slow times. Kept 53 perch and we took them to the bait store to get cleaned. The catch weighed 16 lbs. and cost $24 to fillet. About half way through the trip one of my fishing poles fell off the engine cover and into the drink. I spent about 45 minutes trying to snag it it but had no luck. Sh@&$#t  happens but I still had a great time fishing.
