First trip out on Lake Erie this year. Launched 6:30 and headed out to 17 to 21 fow. Wind already blowing. Picked up a few silver bass and sheep of the deep. On the second pass we picked up a nice walleye on a Stinger Scorpion copper color, (I don't know the name) on a down rigger running just above the bottom. The wind really picked up so we went closer to shore in 15 fow and set up for a drift. One of the mates was not felling too sporty, so we dropped him off back at the truck. Went back out and made another pass and picked up another walleye same spoon. The crawler harnesses were catching silver bass, Hot n Tots were not doing any thing for us. We ended up with 2 nice fish for today. At the fish cleaning station other brought in limits and close to limits from the same area. So we were in the spot. At least the skunk is out of the box and a good time was had by all, almost.

Fishing in the wind always makes it a challenge for boat control. You will get them next time.
