I went on a quick weekend trip to Lake Leelanau with some guys from work to see about some spring walleye. We headed up at noon on Friday and fished that evening in very cold weather. Saturday we fished for perch in the morning but around noon the wind started screaming. We headed back to the cottage and watched it snow and blow the whole afternoon. At one point there was 2" of snow coating the boats. We did get some fishing in between 5:00 and 10:00. There was talk of fishing this morning for a bit but the wind was howling at dawn. Screw that, let's get the boats on the trailers and head for breakfast! Ever try getting boats on trailers in 4' whitecaps with waves breaking over the transom? We got it done though, nobody died, and aside from a bit of skeg damage on one boat the equipment survived too. Overall it was a trip to remember.  |

Nice. We caught squat. 2 walleye total for 4 guys for the weekend. I got bragging rights though with the biggest of the two at a whopping 18 1/2".

Sounds like you're ready for the bay now.

If my boat was a deep V I'd try it but I'd get my arse kicked in my flat bottom. Besides, didn't you and OJ nearly die out there last year on a calm day?

He finally caught a salmon yesterday. Lake Michigan out of Holland from what I saw on fb. Maybe he'll bless us here with an iphone pic? Didn't hear about any excitement.

Yup, OJ.
It was last Memorial Day weekend that we had our "excitement". I texted him asking if we were going to do it again and he got a laugh. Then told me about the salmon trip he was going on.
