I got up at about 7:30 and decided to head out for a little while before breakfast. By the time I got everything set in the boat, it was 8:00. I didn’t want to start the gas motor because it would be too loud, so I turned the trolling motor up full. I headed for Kloek channel and the trolling motor was taking a while, so I threw out a Rebel crayfish to fish on the way to my destination.
I fished Kloek channel with a white pearl fluke and while I wasn’t catching anything, I didn’t mind because it was so quiet and peaceful. Sometimes this is the best part of fishing. I got through the channel and decided to hit the Southern shore of the penninsula that forms our bay. The wind was starting to pick up from the West so when I got to a little elbow I decided to head back.
I trolled back against the wind with a yellow daredevil with red spots fighting a strong West wind until I got around the point.
Not a lick of action, but fun nonetheless.
