Fri Morn, we got a late start. On the water about 7:00 am. Man, it was white capping big time. Well, anyway the trolling motor was coming out of the water. Finally saw some schooling activity early. Forgot the tackle box so we didnt have topwater lures. Only caught three on the down rods. One 30", and two 29". Thats still lots of meat. The fish want the herring moving. Use your trolling motor to ease around. Doesnt matter if the herring is alive or dead. We called it a day at 11:00am.
