Well got launched by about 8, as I was leaving the marina a guy that had launched a few minutes before me was heading back in already. I hadn’t noticed how choppy it was. The wind forecast was favorable.
I rigged up anyway, pointed her into the wind and gave it a shot for awhile. After an hour or so the wind died down, prior to that the trolling motor would come out of the water the swells were that big.
I ended up with 5 fish and missed a few others. Water was 55 when I launched, got up to 61 at noon when I got off the water.
The colors that worked for me today were purple, blue and green.

Good pics and a good day Bric. Is that algae normal in 55* water. Thought that was a warm water thing.

The water on this lake gets pretty warm mid 70s in summer. It always gets some algae long as I’ve been around, but last couple years it been like soup by mid August.

He usually does pretty good. Didn’t like the rough water today.
Is that pup some kind of mountain man's fish finder?
