South Haven 7/18/'17

South Haven 7/18/'17

After almost a month of being land-locked I pulled the cover off Eleanor and washed her keel heading N/W out of the Black River.  Netted a nice little 15# she-King at 102fow w/ a DW Green Dolphin down 55ft.  While lifting the King the braided super-slide diver screamed off but  no one was home be the time I got to tilt the rod up.  The only other solid hit was on a DOC free slider.  Netted a plump little 5.8# Ho.  The bugs and fleas were bad.  But w/ the light wind, sunny skies and the flat water it made for a great boat ride.

That she-King was full of eggs and the Ho was stuffed full of Ales.  And he had some pretty orange meat for this time of year.  And YES, it was great to get out on the water again.
