Thanks again to Nay_Sayer for heading up this months Meet and Greet. It was even nice of him offering his house up as the destination for eats and drinks. It definitely put a different twist on it.
It was a beautiful day with temperatures warming up fast to 80 degrees. The wind was light and it was amazing how clear the water was . You could see almost 5 or 6 feet down. Herring bay is a nice spot, I cannot wait to fish there at night or later in the summer. The good news is that the M&G was great. The bad news is that the fish did not cooperate. There were many sunks today. Not a single perch in site. I was able to catch one 16 inch striper at the rock jetti. SurDog caught at least 3 and lost a few bites. I heard another kayaker caught a small striper also. Well, that was it for the fishing. We launched by 7am and was back to shore by noon or there abouts to start getting ready to head over to Nay_Sayer's place. Not everyone joined us after fishing for the anti-fish fry gathering. There were at least 11 of us that made it over to his house. Since there was no fish to fry, we still made due with hotdogs, (with chilli), turkey burgers, pickles, potatoe salad, macaroni salad, beer, sodas, brownies, coleslaw, and corn.
All I can say, I must have covered 8 miles in search of perch to no avail. I am beat, and when I got home I crashed on the couch for a few hours. It was still a fun time despite the lack of keeper fish.
