4/19 report

It was a tough day for us.
The last blow did not mud things up as much as I feared. But the cold front seemed to hammer our bite.

We fought the wind and ground out a single limit.
All fish came 30 to 60 back. We did not touch a fish deep, the down riggers did not touch a fish all day.

No color seemed to matter. We caught on every color, chartreus, white, chrome, gold, and purple.

The waves made it hard to maintain speed but we worked 1.1 to 2.0 the best we could.

3 of our fish were lightly hooked on the back treble that fell out in the net. We had to really baby the retrieve. Kudos to Capt. Christy that never missed a netting.

We also went out the 19th, it was rough out there. We ended up going to Lorain for the first time this year, and the waves were tough. After a hour of nothing, we went out deep to 50 foot water, turned and went with the waves and started picking them up. Speed was 1.8 and color didn’t matter. Most were deep, around the 30 foot depth. We finished with 14 out of 18 before we had to get back. Real nice grade of fish.
