The weatherman really screwed up today. He predicted 8-12 knot winds from the northeast, but when we headed out those winds quickly increased to over 20 knots and the wave height made it very rough to fish in, so we headed in shortly after our first, short, trolling pass. We fished right out in front of Au Gres in 30 to 32 feet of water and marked a lot of fish on the bottom there and actually did catch four walleyes, in those rough conditions. Had the winds been a little less as predicted, I'm confident we would have gotten a good catch, but it's not much fun to fish in five foot waves, so we did the wise thing and headed for port. In situations like that I prorate the trip so my customers only paid for the short time we spent on the water. They have rescheduled for anther day, so hopefully they will get a decient day for fishing when they return.
