Little on the Bumpy Side

Fished with Joe and Daryl. Temperature this morning was in the upper 60's when we started fishing and it was in the lower 80's when we quit fishing. A little taste of summer during the fall. The wind was out of the south southwest 17 to 25 knots with waves 2 to 3 feet. Every once in a while a 4 footer would come by and that would get your attention. The water temp is 60 degrees. Went back to our same spot and the boat ride out was not too bad. Set up and we started picking away at the perch. It was a steady bite but you had to pay attention with the rough water. At 11.00 am we called it quits for the day. Surprisingly the boat ride back to port was not too bad either. Kept 117 perch with the largest one measuring 12 inches and one bonus walleye. With the southerly wind maybe we should have fished in the swamp but we survived. All's well that ends well.
