We launched the boat and went looking for fish -finally. Its the end of May and finally the weather, wind and our schedule all cooperated enough that we were able to get out on the water for about an hour and a half. This is the biggest body of water we've ever been on and we were at the edge of Green Bay close to where it becomes just Lake Michigan. We had heard that the walleye were already out this far but we didn't see anything on our graph.
The water is still very cold and we don't believe the fish are out this far yet. It is strange to be on water where there are big "rollers" with smaller waves ( 1 or 2 feet high) on top of the rollers. The island is Horseshoe Island and we were fishing up and to the left of it. The picture of water with shore in the distance is the one I took from the boat looking back toward Horseshoe Island which would be between the two points of land that jut out. (you can't see the island- we are too far out). No fish caught -- I almost caught a small mouth bass right under the dock but he tasted my leech and spit it back out. Picky eater I guess.
Our neighbors have a couple of birdfeeders out that attract many kinds of birds. We can look out our windows and enjoy watching them. Jim took a picture of one of the Indigo Buntings that lives here. They are such a pretty color blue.
