It didn't take a long time to get a fish to bite.
I landed a nice 23 lb. salmon.
The sun came over the dunes and the fishing, or rather the catching stopped.
I did manage to reel in a small salmon a little later that didn't pop the downrigger release but made the speed sensor go nuts so I knew it was on a line. A nice 5 lb. eater.
We quit early so we didn't have to contend with the lines at the cleaning station. Entering the harbor, we passed one of the many boats on "harbor patrol". You see almost anything and everything trolling in here this time of year.
And now that I look closely, this guy has 4 lines in the water. That's one too many. Never a cop around when you need one.
So back at the dock, it's time to begin getting this operation put to bed for the season as I packed up the dinghy for the trip home this week.
Kind of sad that days of summer are numbered now. I'll be up here for a few more weeks doing maintenance and maybe wetting a line now and then.
Tomorrow we have a major wind event forecast so we'll likely pack up early and get to the Lansing quilt shop for Kathy's annual forage through their sale event. The "excitement" never ends!
After a line of storms passed through this evening, we walked over to the park to enjoy the sunset one more time. Kathy doesn't participate in this activity after Labor Day (the official kick off to the 9 month quilting season) so it's her last Lake Michigan sunset for a while.
We stayed there long enough to see the Badger set sail once again.
Another day in the books and weekend for the most part.
