Long Boat Ride

Fished with Captain Dan. Temperature this morning was in the lower 30s and when we quit fishing it was in the middle 40s. The wind was light and variable so that means we had no waves. The water temp is 43 degrees. Our game plan was to perch fish for a while and then troll for some walleye. When we arrived at the bait store this morning it was closed so we went down the road to another bait store. It was also closed. We met some other fisherman there and we were trying to figure out what to do when Joe showed up at his bait store so we all headed there. We started fishing just south of Bolles Harbor and we had no luck so pulled the anchor and headed to our hot spot. Made 4 moves in this area and we caught no fish but Dan did have a bite. Made a move to the # 1 buoy off the Raisin River and still no fish. We decided to join the pack of boats in Brest Bay that were walleye fishing. We trolled around here for a hour without a bite. It was just to weedy to troll so we started perch fishing again. We fished in front of the two stacks, the E buoy, just west of the E buoy, in front of the mansion and then we called it a day. I cannot remember any time that we fished Lake Erie all day and never caught a fish. At least we had nice weather for a boat ride.
