Not too shabby for a 19 year old vehicle.
So being crippled from that event, I decided the appropriate cure was a morning on the water. Sunny and calm was the forecast so I thought I'd give the St. Clair river another try. I had some success. Here is an action shot...it didn't happen often.
Another walleye in the net.
Kathy was my photographer. I realize now that I wasn't supposed to be the subject of these pictures.
She was trying to get a shot of the passing freighter. Me catching a fish just got in her way.
Kathy "caught" on to the river jigging pretty quick and landed her share. The only problem was... "Honey, I need another minnow on my hook." Geez, like fishing with a child. Oh well, what I don't go through to get another license on the boat.
Anyway, we caught a nice mess of walleye today.
I think I like the open lake fishing better. In the river, it's pretty much walleye or nothing. In the lake, there's a good shot at catching walleye, perch, smallmouth, pike, muskie or a half dozen other fish. I'll probably give the lake a try next time I venture that way.
