Priority1 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Tom T. and I splashed Priority1 this morning to check the boat out. P1 ran flawlessly high and low speed. We stayed in tight to duck the wind and waves. We pulled a two man limit of eaters running our usual program of bouncers and meat. We only had to contend with 1-2 foot waves but the stiff breeze blew my light hardtop boat around making boat control a challenge but doable. We fished 17-27 fow with the lower end being better. Surface temp was 55 and the fish seemed to like the 1.5 mph speed. We set lines doing about 1-1.2 mph with no takers. I bumped the speed and fish on. We had one tripple and a double. We took fish on all the rods with the two down rods doing more than their share. Color wasn't really a factor. The NW wind is not my favorite but I wanted to get the shakedown behind me. TY Tom for joining me. http://www.greatlakesfisherman.com/gallery/files/8/7/dsc00653_a_thumb.jpg' alt='dsc00653_a_thumb.jpg'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed, I have had a lot going on lately but I hope to turn the heat up soon on the Bay eyes. Ya never know I may fish a weekend or two if the week days are bad. It's always good to hear you on the pond. If you get a chance give me a call and stop in for a visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
