I whent out on 5-07/11 Saturday.
The weather report for Saturday was breazy and Sunday to be windy. Ha! Breazy turned in to the perfect storm just before noon.
Got a late start, we trolled about two miles north of Echo Bay around 10am. Got the first fish in the boat around 10:30.
3/4oz blue and chrome Rattle Traps we the ticket.
This was just a pre-fish trip for the next tournament, so we were exploring new areas. Stoped by the Meat Hole for a day bite and found it to full of weeds that were floating around.
After an hour of getting the anchor set we chumed and soon had them biting. But with the 3 to 4 foot swells rolling on us hooking the fish was a miss.
Then a 6 foot rouge wave dumped a few gallons of water in the boat. The winds were from the south and it was starting to blow and the waves turned to white caps.......time to go home.
The ride home back to Callvile was slow and wet from the swells and spray. Took us almost two hours to get across the basin and thru the narrows.
Then we had to get pass the crazy boaters and two near misses from dumb people.
Off the water by 4pm.
