I-Bay Late AM 8-1

Like a good mariner I waited until the Special Marine Warning from NWS on possible water spouts expired to go out to fish.  This of course left me with about an hour of worthy fishing time.  Fished 120-170 fow and managed one decent King on a DW mag light green UV spoon, 60/135 on a northern troll.  It was 9.7 lbs and returned to the lake.  Had 2 knockoffs on the meat rig but no takers.  Temp was at 70' down and there was a strong current today midway between Shipbuilders and Webster Park.  Marked a fair number of fish so that was good to see.  Just not much action past noon.  Gentle 1' rollers every 30' or so, but the early morning waves disappeared.  I was attacked by at least 5 varieties of flies out there.  Good reason to cut the trip short.

The biting flies this year have been horrible.
