Our group just returned from our first of 3 fishing trips planned for this month it was very chilly and rough to say the least which made for the worst trip we have had in 7 years of multiple trips.
The water temp was 49 degrees with the air temp at 52.
The wind was out of the southwest at 15/20 mph making for waves 3'-5'.
We used Reef runners that produced 6 Walleye averaging 5 lbs and 2 Small mouth bass (released) that were about 3-4 lbs.
Most of the charters struggled as well with 3-6 fish the average for the day.
On the bright side our group enjoyed a tremendous fish fry at Waldo Peppers restaurant in Marble head with us providing them with 7 pounds of Walleye fillets that they prepared for us in several different ways.
Also I was the lucky winner of the coin toss giving me 6 pounds of fillets plus the cheeks of the remaining Walleyes to be enjoyed at a later date with my wife.
Our group will be returning in 2 weeks.
