Goes to figure. Cancelled our trip thinking the waves would be up.

I was up yesterday and we did good. The Edward John anchored 35 yards from us, fished for about 45 minutes and pulled out. We caught them, they didn't.

We fished out of walnut yesterday with both boats and a group of Cub Scouts and Leaders. Great day on the water. Started out a little lumpy but laid right down. We ended up with 125 perch between both boats. It was a little slow and it takes some time to teach everyone how to feel the bite and get hooked up, but overall very decent. We searched around a bit but ended up anchored side by side in 46'. We were about a mile east of the pack. The bite was right on the bottom, and I mean sinker in the mud. Everyone had a great time. It is really gratifying to see the kids on the boat and seeing their excitement. Might try it again Monday for my freezer.
