well - the fishing was no good today :-(
We went out for bass and tried a bunch of locations. Nothing doing... 3 of my group managed to hook smallmouth bass, but they all shook the line before getting in the boat. I reeled in the first one to the boat - a Sheepshead - nothing worth looking at, so as soon as he was de-hooked, he got tossed overboard!
The rest of the day was met without success worthy of discussing. We caught some more Sheepsheads and perch - which were given to our boat cap'n Al so he could bait his raccoon traps at home (???)
The lack of success obviously bored many of us and made for a pretty long day....
When we got back, we had a nice long lecture on Lake Erie's ecology, and lake ecology in general. Following that, we discussed year round fishing patterns and migration habits of Lake Erie sportfish and how to "Fish Smarter". This was all about using technology and information about spawning and feeding habits to our advantage (when combined with an understanding of basic fish biology, effects of temperature, oxygen needs, and underwater geography.
Really looking forward to a good night's sleep - so I doubt I'll be posting again today.

That's such a bummer. I hope the fish cooperate at least one day this week!
