It's real choppy in the Straits and the Shepler captains have been warning the upper deck riders that they are in a splash zone.
So I spent much of the day doing the spring cleaning and got the fore deck all polished and waxed.
Won't have to worry about that little chore next May. Sure is nice being 200 miles away from that coal burning ferry in Ludington. I can do a little of the clean up and it will last going into storage.
The charter boat guy across from me said they got into the salmon off Bois Blanc Island during the week. I might give that a try if the lake calms down in the morning. I'd say there's about a 50/50 chance of that according to the forecast. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of fuel in my tank so I'll have to keep an eye on that situation as well. Seems someone didn't want me to take the time to stop at the gas dock last week. Hmmm...and guess who's not here this week?
I'm sure there's enough fuel for a 20 mile trip.
Famous last words, eh?
great post Jim, Are you seeing my posts on your blog..??? All of a sudden my blog isn't emailing the people in my list to email...I'm seeing everyone of your posts... and it's awesome Nice Fish.... you know it's not about the Fish anymore right??? I don't know why this year but I'm over fishing.......I'm just done with it, now come winter, I'll be saying What the Hell happened....??
ReplyDeleteAgreed. The fishery was down everywhere this year but I wasn't too disappointed. Still have fish in the freezer and had a nice year at Mackinaw City. It was time to expand the horizon on boating and shrink the fishing activity a tad. Next year will be even better with a trip to the North Channel and Georgian Bay...and beyond???
