Up early again and spend the day over around Kelly's Island. The Lake was pretty rough and tossed us around quite a bit on the way out there, but surprisingly - the bay we were in was nice and smooth. It rained off and on during the morning, but nothing too bad.
I managed to land another Sheepshead (Drum), brought in a 13.5" Smallmouth, and am top of the leader board in the Goby Derby - 5.5" (go me!).
The morning was a little more eventful with guys making some catches, but as the day ran on - it got slow and the boredom was visible from a few of the guys, myself included... We moved out over a shoal, but again, success was limited. Plus the water was fairly rough as we were no longer protected by Kelly's.
We came back and learned about the usefulness of GPS and SONAR devices - an interesting lecture with a lot of technical background (a little overkill for an EDU PAES class, but is useful knowledge nonetheless).
For dinner we had some tacos and the always amazing salad bar ;-)
Following that, John Hageman - the lab manager - came in to talk to us about Lake Erie Ice Fishing (again, mostly walleye). Great presentation, good overview of the gear and techniques, but just a little too warm to go out and try them!
In all - not a bad day.
