Wisconsin vacation with family
Winding to a close.
Spent Saturday thru Thursday morning in Wisconsin Dells. Oh buoy.
Then, Thursday morning, after thunderstorms and heavy rain, boarded Captain Nolan's charter out of Port Washington, Wisconsin.
Heavy swells, no fish. Had two strikes, both pulled off. Wife unit and 13 yr old daughter both got seasick. Not going on Friday, (today)
Fast forward, swells from the Wednesday storm are gone. Can view the Marina and lake from the awesome B&B wife unit found. I asked my buddies back home if any of them wanted to join me today. All had to work.
Contacted the good Captain. He said only 1 foot chop, no swells, and the morning charter was 7/10 with some big fish on board.
Was gonna ask on here if anyone local would want to join me, but the wife unit and both girls are excited to try it again.
Cast off in a 1/2 hr. 11 am local time.
Wish us luck!

Had a great time today.
We only boated two. Together, maybe 4 or 5 lbs.
Beautiful day on lake Michigan, great time with the family, and no one got sick!
I appear to have had a curse put on me, as today, all the other boats were catching fish.
I knew I should have visited a buddies wife and had her rub some chicken bones on me, or something...

Don't feel too bad diver-rig! The reason we call it fishing and not catching! 😁
On a side note, our gov't spent 500,000 on this study.

I went to 'the DELLS' on vacation with two small kids and a prego spouse ONCE. Weather was warm and humid and the camper had no AC so it wasn't a fun time for any of us. That was the last time I stopped in Wisconsin any longer than it took to pee and fill the gas tank.

Yes, like an hour and 45 minutes. We took back roads instead of going through Milwaukee.

Glad you had a good time sorry I missed you - we are about an hour west of where you stayed in the Driftless Area about 35 miles east of Prairie du Chien
