10 for 16, 2 guys, 33'ow, 3 hours, 6 rods, all Coho. One double, 5 on at one time (most lost).
Slow start with the wind changing S to SW. Speeds were a problem being in a washing machine this morning. Raider n GPS all over the place. On one run we only had 1 rod in the water without a fish on.
Rods - All rods did well with exception of Flickwr Shad with only 1 fish. Should have done a flop-over.

1 guy, 4:30am - 6:30am all Coho, 8 -11, all 3 rods fish on while picking up, 3 rods, 1 triple, 1 double. All in all, fish time was very short - a 20 min up 20 min back. 20 w/o confidence near the bubbler. Waisted a lot of time and gas. Size was very good on the fish.
Burned a whole lot of gas after 15 min of not catching just off Bubbler. Others did very well there.
Ran to Bender. 2 boats and nets most of the short event I was there. Longer to run, than catch. I am not encouraging the gas burn, but it is peaceful for this time of year. It is usually "animal house". With the MKE Co. Parks letting the launch become a beach, boat pressure is highly abnormal for this time of year.

Water very is dirty (bubbler/river) - fish are still in but can't find a bait in close to shore. Livescope proves it. They come up but can't get there.
Was testing a new ducer, got out late, but just in that brief time I can say... things have changed in just a few days of winds.

1 SWR 4' down orange jointed Rapala

Good day All. Just a quick question on finding a boat launch. Is there any in the harbor open to public with or without fees. I have a 16.5 Alumacraft and not sure about going on the big water and would like to stay in the harbor if possible. Thank you in advance for any information!
