Default Skunk :(

Took the boat out of indoor storage today. Dropped her at the marina (Bodkin Creek) and took off for a few hours of catching fish

Had some intel on the boat that all bait and fish were showing in the channel. Dropped lines above Balt. Light and marked slight amount of bait and very few fish. Every time I swung outside of the channel, we lost all marks.

We zigged and zagged from east side to west side down the channel toward the bridge. Just north of Sandy Point Light, the water gets deep 60+ ft all the way across the bay.

Because the bait was in deep water, I figured we could swing wide toward the eastern shore and search this area. But we once again lost all marks. You Had To Be In The Channel

I made a swing back toward the western channel and the outgoing current was ripping (full moon).

Still nothing, so in order NOT to be late for my colonoscopy (oops, I mean tax preparer); we called it a day and pulled lines.

Headed back to the slip to find the water turned on at the pier (thanks Jay). Hosed some of the salt spray off the boat and headed home.

Not the way I had hoped the first trip would go, but the boat ran well (had a bunch of preventative maintenance done this winter). AND, I didn't find anything glaring that I forgot to put back on the boat

So, all in all, a good shakedown cruise. I will say one thing (yep, here it comes);
PSCR SUCKS with 6 rods. Thanks DNR

Welcome home neighbor, at least for the time being. Looks as if Jeff, Garlein and I will be the only ones left up here for the season! At least Marty won't be catching all OUR fish up here in the frigid north!

Thanks for the report. Too bad about the skunk, but I bet its feels good to be back on the water. Another week to get out of inside storage for myself. Then I will be going out of the Bodkin as well!

We were only half heartedly fishing with 6 rods. Bruce was hitting his nine iron off the back of the fish box. He was getting ready for 18 holes today

As bad as fishing was, my round of golf was worse . I twas a beautiful day though.
I guess I should stick to fishing.
Going to the boat today and clean up the inside and get things organized for the year.
