Shortly after 6:00 this morning, we left the pier at the White Lake Marina.
This was to be the first fishing trip in Rocky's new boat, although he had taken it out on the water for a couple shakedown cruises during previous weeks.
Just as we passed the first buoy, the sun crested the horizon.
As we approached the Channel, it was full daylight and White Lake was relatively calm. When we got into the channel, there was a bit of a roll.
Out on Lake Michigan, the water was choppy with a much larger roll in the waves. There were also a very few small whitecaps. Much too rough for comfortable fishing in a small boat.
The Cap'n brought us back into White Lake where we caught a few bluegills and sunfish until late morning.
