I went fishing today at Racine Harbor
(Wisconsin). First day out for the season.
My fishing partner and I got there around 5 AM, set up our lines and
then saw lightning. We decided it was best to go back to the car and wait out
the storm. Not one minute after we closed the car door it started to hail on
my car! Good thing we got in the car! It was large marble sized hail! We waited
until 6:30 AM to finally try fishing. Very windy and choppy waves out there. Not
good.
With the wind and waves hindering all efforts of fishing, we decided to go to Kenosha where their channel was bound to be less choppy. Sure enough, it was a lot calmer and the water was clearer. Still, no fish for us today; however, I had a decent "bump" from a fish but it didn't hook up. It was definitely a fish and not just a hook up on weeds because it was pulling back on the line... twice! I think my hooks were not sharp enough so I lost it! Moments later, another guy ended up catching a fish. My buddy and I are thinking he ended up with my fish! I need to replace those old hooks! Even though we might think it is sharp, it may not be sharp enough to penetrate and hook up on the fish. Lesson learned.
