Don't feel too bad, we also got skunked out there. At least now I don't feel so bad. [

We launched at Lincoln Beach at about 10 and fished for a couple hours between the dike and Benjamin Slough. Nothing. Had a wakeboarding boat about run us over who's driver wasn't paying attention. Who wakeboards in 3 feet of water with a $50K boat? [mad]
After eating lunch the kids were getting restless, so we spent a couple of hours pulling them on the tube and getting wet. It was a hot day, we all needed the cool off.
Mid afternoon, the wind picked up so we decided to head back. But that was also everyone else's idea and the channel was packed with boats with their trailers waiting in line to pick them up.
We headed back out to kill some time and fished just off the point of the southern dike. Still nothing. For the first time all day we saw a few fish on the finder, and threw just about everything we had at them, but still nothing.
I'm glad I've got Monday off and I'll be able to go out fishing again. My dad was up to Gooseberry last week and had lots of action, so maybe I'll dust off the float tube and head up there.
