But it wasn't a fish. It was a wave.
I started fishing around 10:30am even though I could see that it was windy but partly cloudy out. I took the water temp by hooking a thermometer to the downrigger and going to 15 foot. It was 48 degrees. Then I tried to troll which was very hard because of the wind. I used several lures and bait. Nothing got a bite. I even had silver blades. After a bit I switched those out. I did see more fish on the finder between surface and 20 feet down than the last time I was out. I trolled the thermometer and it went up to 49.
I quit fishing after a wind wave entered the side of my boat uninvited. I stayed for 2 hours.
