Put the boat in the water shortly after 6pm. Trolled along the south dike for an hour... Marked a lot of fish they just didn't like what I was offering started to head back to the south marina and wham! A nice wiper grabbed the rattletrap in 8 feet of water. While the boy and I were celebrating, taking pictures and weighing the wiper, I forgot I had turned the electric motor on after shutting the outboard off. Habit I guess. So we were still trolling pretty slow and my boy yells you got one dad! Sure enough another wiper. A great fish story in the books... FYI *57.8 at 7pm
