So the wife and kids are on a 3-day trip, and what do I do?? GO FISH!!
Deva and I went down to RDM to catch the evening bite. We fished until about 9pm. It was rather windy, so spin gear for the both of us. Deva got a bunch of perch on grubs; mixed barred and walleyes, including once real nice one. I was fishing a surf-miki, but the fish were ignoring it in favor of Deva's motoroil grubs. After finally switching to grubs, I started catching fish too.

and I FINALLY caught a striper:

Having not had enough, I went back there tonight with fly gear. Pretty rough waves, with wind on top. Managed one good perch, which was EXTREMELY satisfying to catch. You know.. something about feeling the grab when I'm holding the line with my fingertips. All good fun.. fished until it was too dark to deal with fly tangles and salad.
lots of salad close to RDM, less so walking south-east.
