Left Eagle Harbor at 8 a.m. with Chalk. Headed into a brisk North wind and lots of salt spray. Had to turn and run southeast. That was OK,first stop,first cast, trout in the cooler. It was uphill the rest of the day. We managed 4 cookie cutter trout and 2 reds to 28.5". About 75 blue fish and a short flounder. Lost several over 20" trout. Caught a 4 foot 2x4 at 35 mph.
Logged 36 miles on the gps and over 1000 miles on cast and retrieve.
Can't wait til Saturday.
Thanks Chalk a fun day was had by me.

36 miles sounds about right. Did you learn anything for this coming saturday?

Actually it was 30 miles and the plan is to go 6 miles, catch a trout, go 6 more miles and catch another, etc....
Can't wait til Saturday....Enjoyed it JT51

Keep your distance. I can throw a Skitterwalk a long way.

Please aim a little low. I would much prefer you not hit me, but hit the blue boat in stead.
