2019 RV/Boat

There hasn't been much to talk about the past couple weeks.  The wind continued to blow and blow and blow.  Now it has calmed down a bit and guess what...duty calls back at the ranch so I have to head south for a little while.

It did finally stop blowing this morning so I left the slip about 6 am and ran east of Mackinac Island.

The sun was rising out of the fog as I set my one man array of lures.

The fog soon burned off, but that was just a tease.

You'll notice the fog rolling in from the north (right in the picture) blanketing Mackinac Island.

I was soon in the midst of thick fog and being the Lone Ranger today, didn't want to risk boating in that stuff without someone at the helm 100% of the time.  When I started, I passed within a few hundred yards of a freighter in the Round Island channel and never saw it.  I didn't need any more of that.  Fortunately, it cleared south of the island so the trip back to the marina was decent once I passed the Round Island light.

So that's the tale of woe.  Now for the good news!

Yessiree...that's a king salmon.  I found one of those this morning before being blinded by the fog.

Maybe there's a glimmer of hope for this fishing hole yet.

I won't hold my breath on that prospect but it's always good to dream big.
