Nancy, Sparky and I went out for a little breakfast cruise this morning. Thanks to a rare alarm setting issue, we got a little extra sleep. Everything happens for a reason, though...right? It seems that the bite in Skunk Bay/Point No Point has been stretched out past the standard "hour after change".

At around 08:50, we drifted in to 75 FOW in front of the Hansgrille, and the rod went straight up. When I reeled down, I thought maybe I had bottom...catching 8 pounders will do that to you! After several nice runs, Nancy expertly scooped the 16# bright hatchery hen into the net. Sparky gave an approving sniff and took a nap.

You might be able to guess that it was on a purple tailwagger and morning mist flasher. I tried running another setup on the other side, but I'm not sure why!
