May 25th Report West of Kellys

[Lucky Duck]

I left West Harbor at 10:30 and I saw Eric from the Pirate Clipper and multiple charters were heading back in. There were boats scattered from Lakeside to the west side of Kellys and over to the monument and west to Mouse Island. The marks were not great and I did what I don't like to do by joining the pack of boats on the fringe. I got what a pack of boats gives you, lots of rock and roll when everyone is constantly moving. The marks seemed to be in small groups of fish. I mustered up a nice 21' male by throwing weight forward spinners. I was only there an hour and a half. Had to get ready for work again this afternoon. I think the bite today had been early and I missed it.
