Got out today, but I didn't think it would be for that long. Lake Erie was already
starting to crank, but we made the decision to roll west to along with the "Alibi".
Took us over 90 minutes of slow running to get up west of Barcelona.
Turned to take a slow troll east, on pretty good seas. Really thought it was going
to kick up, but the crew hung in there, the wind shifted and it finally layed out a bit.
We put in over #35lbs for our biggest 5 fish, plus 5 lakers and a bunch of junkers.
We fished 60-80 fow; and pretty much got fish on each setup. Wd's in copper melon
off the rigs, perch chatters on the slides and a copper/orange harness on the 10 color.

It was a fabulous day fishing that started shaky due to the weather. I recommend taking this charter to anyone wanting to catch some big eyes on lake Erie. I will schedule it again for next year. Thanks Again to Capt John.
