 |
|
ON SUNDAY APRIL 20TH CAPT. GAR, WILD BILL AND WILD BILL SR. WENT OUT ON LAKE MICHIGAN TO TRY CAPT. GAR NEW 75 HORSE E-TECH MOTOR AND FLAT LINE FOR SOME STEELIES.
WE DROPPED IN AT THE PORTAGE MARINA AND PAID THE TEN DOLLAR RAMP FEE. GETTING INTO THE BOAT MY CLUMSY FATHER FELL INTO THE BOAT AND WEDGED HIMSELF BETWEEN THE SEATS. THERE WAS NOT A JIB CRANE IN THE AREA SO I USED A CHOCOLATE DONUT TO GET HIM UNSTUCK.
THE BAROMETER WAS AT 29.78, THE TEMP WAS 53 DEGREES AND SUNNY AND THE WIND WAS OUT OF THE NORTHWEST AT 7-10 MILES PER HOUR. THE WAVES WERE ABOUT 2-3 FEET AND CHOPPY. WHEN CAPT. GAR STOOD UP TO USE THE BATHROOM A ROGUE WAVE SLAMMED THE BOAT SENDING HIM ON HIS BACK LEANING OVER THE SIDE. HE LOOKED LIKE A CRAB ON HIS BACK SCRAMBLING TO FIND SOMETHING TO GRAB. I LAUGHED SO HARD AT WATCHING THIS KNUCKLEHEAD I HAD TO STOP FISHING FOR TEN MINUTES.
OVER ALL THE FISHING WAS SLOW SUNDAY BUT WE PICKED UP A COUPLE STEELIES USING A DARK BLUE SHAD RAP WITH A DEEP RUNNING LIP. TALKING TO OTHER FISHERMAN THAT DAY GAVE THE SAME REPORTS OF A SLOW DAY. I WAS IMPRESSED WITH EVINRUDES 75 HORSE E-TECH MOTOR. IT IS VERY QUIET AND CAN RUN REALLY SLOW FOR TROLLING. WILD BILL. OH YEAH I DID NOT FALL DOWN IN THE BOAT. |

You guys need to mount a video camera to the front of the boat so that you guys can get all of this stuff on film!

I don't want to replay my A$$ almost going in! Although I would have won the $ 10,000 prize on funniest home video's.
More fun to follow!
