Fishing with David, Cindy, and Dash 6/17/15

by Capt Juls on 06/17/15

Launched out of Mazurik's with two of my favorite Facebook friends, David and Cindy Michael, and their son, Dash. Winds were out of the east at about 15 at 6am and would be laying down as the morning progressed. Waves were 1-3 feet.

Poor Dash and Cindy...they were feeling ill by the time we got out to the north side of Gull Island Shoal, but hung in there while David and I set up to make our first pass along the line on the west side of Middle. We made one pass up there and caught three small walleye (no junk).

I decided to move down to Kelly's north side to help their seasickness, figuring if they were closer to land that they might overcome it, but it didn't work. We were marking a lot of fish, and another batch of mayflies coming up out of the mud. We caught 4 more walleye and one catfish in that NE to SW troll in 37-31 foot of water pass. Our speed was 1.4mph again. Same numbers on the Tadpoles worked again. 27, 35, 40, and 43 back.

We cut their trip down to 4 hours instead of the scheduled 6 hours, because it was obvious both Cindy and Dash were not having fun. David wanted to fish though, but being the good husband and father, agreed to go in. :)

So, that's it in a nutshell for today...it was fun (for those of us who were not seasick), and it was great to finally meet them in person.

Tomorrow's adventure is a 6 hour trip with three fellas from Illinois. The weather should be pretty decent, and I haven't quite decided where I want to start yet....so....

Stay tuned...

Lots of seasickness lately. Have your clients take a Drammamine or two the night before, which helps with getting to sleep and offers a nice carry-over effect the next day. I have found that it actually works better that way and they won't as tired as they would be if they took it the day of. Cheers.

This is on my website, on the page that tells them what to bring, etc... ~motion sickness medication if you're prone to seasickness (take a dose the night before, and then again a couple hours before hitting the water) In the case of Cindy and Dash...they both took Dramamine and had wrist bands on. Some people just aren't "water people".
