Chilly Ohio Ride 040911

My wife and I decided to ride up to the big lake today to see how the walleye fishing was on the reefs. It was rather chilly on the way up, and the wife got cold. We stopped at one of the local bait shops so I could pick up a few items and my wife could warm up. The bait shop has one of the best names ever for a bait shop.
After we left Happy Hooker, we rode into Port Clinton and had perch at Jolly Roger's Restuarant. Yummy.

Rode across the bay on the way home. Total about 140 miles. Nice ride and I'm dragging the boat back up in the morning to try and boat some walleyes.

Good luck with the 'eyes, starting to run good up the Maumee in T-Town. Nice to see DB running in the background.

Prob saw you on the way. I did about a 250 mile loop today from Grafton to Marblehead to Sandusky and around on some roads. It wasn't that cold. Or maybe it was but I didnt notice cause I've been cooped up so long it was nice to get out. Good luck fishing. They should be hitting soon I know the steelhead are running good right about now. See ya

Saw you at Jolly Rogers yesterday. Wondered who the brave souls were that were out riding -- a little too chilly for me. We followed you over the bay bridge on our way home.

Groversue -- I was out at the Lighthouse in MH yesterday....BRRRRRR! Hope it's warmer for your ride today!

I sure miss riding Ohio roads. I moved to get away from the Ohio winters. And though I ride here year round, the trade off was the roads are not as scenic and plentiful as I had in Ohio.
Ride safe and enjoy the new riding season.
