Great First Trip to the Bay

[Great Lakes Jake]

Got up this morning to some heavy winds in Linwood and decided to head to the DNR launch at the river mouth to have a buffer from the winds. Fishing was great east of the Island as we picked off 28 eyes, keeping 16 eyes in 2 1/2 hours, and running out of meat. Good times with a couple buddies and one of their sons.

Came in for a quick bite and too head back out. Went out for another three hours before dinner with my son:grin:, and caught 25 eyes, keeping 5, 1 perch, 1 white perch, and a 12# cat(he was so proud of it, his biggest fish as an 8 year old. Purples, blues, and greens on bb and harnesses, along with some worm burners behind boards. 5-8 fow running 1.2 to 1.8.

What a great day for the first of the year. Will post pics once I am able to get this years album going.
