Today was more perfect than yesterday, if that was even possible.
I slept in a bit and left the marina about 7:00 am to a welcoming lake.
I think my 30 footer can handle that kind of sea condition. Not even a breath of air as the sun rose over the islands.
At this point, I didn't really care too much about the fishing, I just wanted to take a cruise. Off toward Mackinac Island I went, passing the harbor.
I set lines a little east of the island.
Seems I've learned the secret to lake trout fishing, I caught two together on one rod.
There was a massive slick of bugs hatching on the water.
I trolled in and out of that stuff hoping to find a steelhead or salmon feeding near the surface.
All I found were fat, happy sea gulls.
I gave up about 10:00 am and headed back to port via the Round Island Passage.
It's supposed to be another stellar day tomorrow. I'll have to try to get a little earlier start and maybe find one of those early morning salmon...or maybe not.
It's a game day decision.
