We've been fishing our hearts out on our days off and its paying off with Jim catching some really nice smallmouth bass. These bass were 19 inches long and really fat. You can see their bellies kind of hanging down. He caught 4 of them over two days -- very nice but they all had at least one sore on them. Not sure if that is from a virus or another fish or from another fisherman's hook. It doesn't matter to us since we don't eat them or want to mount them as trophies. We finally have started seeing other walleye fishermen and got to talk to some who seemed to know their way around the local waters. They had caught a 24 inch walleye and they were fishing the same areas we were. They told us that the northern part of the Door County isn't known for great quantites of walleye caught just qualilty fish -- meaning you don't catch many but what you do catch is usually good size. Who knows we may only catch one or two walleyes but it sounds like when we do they will be nice.
I only caught the usual gobies and zebra mussels. Oh well.
I tried to get a picture of all the little "Flying Scott" class sailboats in Eagle Harbor. There was a race going on while we were fishing. It was part of a week long regatta where kids learn to sail and then get to do some racing. They just go in a circle but they have to do it in what ever wind and waves come up.
