I picked up a floating piece of a boat chair, a snapped on cushion, while trolling the wreck yesterday. Several big boats blew by us on there way to where ever and possibly came from one of those. There were 10 or 12 others out there also. If you lost a foam and vinyl seat pad it is at the Portage marina office at the lost and found.
My Searunner 190, "Four "D's" and a "C". Retirement money well spent.
I saw it floating but had a fish on and couldn't divert to scoop it up. I did tell the customers maybe the steelhead which was on the line at the time might jump on it and we could reel it in like it was on a boogie board. Unfortunately, the fish didn't boogie on the board and made one last leap about 30 feet behind the boat to dislodge the hook. Then it boogied away.
The South End provides useful resources and discussion forums for those that fish The South End of Lake Michigan for Salmon, Steelhead, Perch, and Bass as well as elsewhere in the Region and Chicago area.
