2019 RV/Boat

So we get to Ludington yesterday, and it's nice and calm so I grab a rod and the carton of crawlers out of the fridge and...the crawlers are all rotten.  Seems expecting them to stay fresh in the refrigerator for more than a month is expecting too much.  So, it's off to the beach to watch the sunset and pick up a new batch of crawlers on the way back.

This morning I got up and idled out of the harbor and determined that there may be a fish or two near the harbor while all the other boats motored off to the horizon.  I set the first line and...fish on!  Landed that one and reset the line and...fish on!  Landed that one and reset the line and...fish on!  Three fish in the cooler, it's barely daylight and I'm not more than a half mile from the harbor entrance. 

We fished for a few hours and ended up with a nice bucket of fish. Four salmon and one steelhead and another that we threw back.

I need to make a mental note (not that it will do any good) to make sure I have reeled in ALL the lines before heading into the harbor.  I have discovered that attempting to troll a lure at 30mph causes line twist and also the loss of anything that was attached to that line. 

Maybe tonight I'll use a few of the "new" crawlers. 

...to be continued.
