I've been wanting to do this for 13 months now - chase those big perch that hang out about 2 1/2 miles out of Waukegan this time every year.
Wanting to cut some time on the 45 minute paddle out the perching grounds, I folded back my outriggers for the trip out there. 3 seconds after launching I rolled the kayak and went for a refreshing swim in Lake Michigan. I have no idea what even happened. A bit annoying, but it served as a good test of my wetsuits and they passed. I went back to the vehicle, dried my hair a bit and traded my sopping winter coat for a sweatshirt and proceeded back out.
With a late start, having to get off the water at 10, I only got 3, but one was a nice 14"er.
