Late report but...
Made it out to Port Bruce Saturday around 1130 ish, guys coming off the lake were all saying she was a bit wavy out there, and they were right. Made it out to 58 FOW as I really wanted to test a new prop on the boat, (excellent BTW) and thought she was pretty rough but since we made it that far, let's put out a line or two. Started with a 10 colour lead with spoon, caught a tiny pic, let it go.
It was about as rough as I can stand, was getting a little sick so we just kept it simple and I stayed looking back at horizon. But weather man said winds would back off a bit so we persevered.
After maybe 15 minutes later, managed to put a single dipsey. Then maybe 30 minutes after that a single rigger. Lots of fish on screen, managed 6 pics to take home with one little guy that really wanted to come home with us due to gills bleeding out.
Lead was changed out to a 5 color later in afternoon with a 10 foot diving Live Target smelt body bait, ended up catching most. Rigger had one that was dragged, dipsey had to be set so tight it was dragging a fish too.
A couple of sheep to make the leadcore exciting.
A good day out, happy we kept at it.
