Dale wanted to fish salmon. Slow cruise up to Baileys Harbor, WI following about 100 feet of water at 2.3 nts. Local guides said salmon weren’t active. They haven’t see a salmon all summer. We tried anyways.
Leaving Sturgeon Bay East Canal
Some fishermen are invasive species!
It’s a BIG lake but for whatever reason the charter boat below crossed about 30 feet in front of us then stopped forcing us to alter course/water depth. We followed it for a while then pulled lines and moved about a mile ahead to fish.
It was quite a challenge to follow the 100 feet water line at 2.3 nts with the wind and waves. The boat is also not designed to move that slow. We had to keep putting it in and pulling it out of gear.
Black flies out over the water were horrible! Where did they come from?
Baileys Harbor
It’s amazing how many jet skis and paddle boarders there are. Baily Harbor is no exception.

We have been to the cute little town on the other side of the red light house. Lots of shops. We toured the windmill in Holland brought from Holland. It was the last one before the country realized that their history was being sold.
We’ve seen it. We used to live in Michigan. Cute town.
