[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]Arrived at the North Marina about Noon. Weather was just about as perfect as you can get. Air temps in the mid 70s and just enough of a breeze to keep the bugs at bay but not hinder the trolling.[/#800000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]Launched and headed to the Island. Dropped 4 lines and headed on a straight zig/zag course for the south dike. Five minutes into the troll had a double with one wiper and one eye. Boated both and kept heading south. By the time we reached the turning point at the south dike we had 2 more singles boated and one LDR. Turned north and followed the track back to the Island.[/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000]On the return trip, had another double and boated both and one more single with 2 more LDRs. Repeated following the track 3 more times between the Island and the south dike and ended with 8 wipers and 2 walleye boated. Kept both eyes and 6 wipers. Had a great time and my friend said he is ready to come back anytime.[/#800000][/font]

Sounds like a good day! I'm headed out as soon as I get a chance, although I wonder that this 95* weather is going to do to the bite this weekend.
So, I hear you have some plans or blueprints for some awesome planer boards! Any chance I could get a little info on that? I'm not a fan of the inline style for the same reason I don't like big pop gear, I don't like reeling in a log with a fish on the other end.
