So I got up to Lake Michigan today and had a pretty good day. The wind never let off so I couldn't stay as long as I wanted but had a good day anyway. I fished from sunup til around noonish before the waves got the best of me. I didn't get skunked but I didn't get to bring anything home either.
I ended up catching 2 gaspergoo's (sheephead)
and a short coho that I had been dragging around the lake for I can't tell you how long. When I finally noticed this poor fish it was only because he was on top and getting dragged. Well since he was short I had to let him go, and since I had him hooked in the head-not sure how that happened- I know he didn't live. It didn't take the seagulls long to find him though, wish he could've been my meal.
This might have been the end of an era.... I cleaned out my boat and am going to put it up for sale. No I'm not going to stop fishing I just think I need to get a bigger boat.
Let ya know how that turns out.
Since hunting season starts Sept. first I won't be using the boat the rest of the year. I know it's not the time to sell a boat but it is the time to buy. So worst case scenario I will pick one up this year and sell my next spring. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
