SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS
Sorry for the late report. FISHINMAN Tom and I took our better halves out to the OAK to show them what it's like to fish in pea soup fog. What an interesting trip. We saw numerous deer all the way to the launch with quite a few right in Point BReeze. They were even on the lake side of Lakeshore Road in peoples yards and by the restrooms at the launch. While we were launching the boat and getting her started, a doe walks down the street toward the Black North! We stopped what we were doing to watch as she walks around the North, looks in the window, and goes over to the new addition to inspect the work!
====================
She didn't seem happy that construction wasn't completed so she headed down the dock to get a look at Mick's boat
Since Mick wasn't around to take her fishing, she decided to go for a swim
Maybe someone over at the park launch will take me fishin
Time for us to go fishin so we pointed the boat NW out of the chute and tried to find our way through the thickest fog I've ever been in. 8mph seemed fast and all eyes were peeled in front of us. Set up in 70fow and trolled NW to 140 or so to no avail. At one point, Tom yells out "Look over there"! as this 4' single rogue wave comes out of nowhere! Eerie to say the least. We heard there was a decent brown bite inside, so we opted to troll in and had a hit and miss on a wire dipsey around 100fow. Got inside and changed up to planers and sticks with spoons on two riggers down 5 and 7. Picked up a decent brown in 12fow on a clown bomber which I managed to dump by horsing him in. Tom saved the skunk when we landed this chunky brown which would be our last hit.
There were a lot of debris in the water which made it all that much more interesting. A good day though, spent with good friends with the fish being a bonus.
