Milwaukee, Willie 6.04.06

[fishchaser]

Did the Willie, looked for the Gillen but didn't find, and did the Norland today.  I knew Jerry was planning on the Wille for his first dive, so I got up early to beat him to it.  Turns out Diver's Delight also showed up as Jerry was finishing.  Talked to one of their divers at the South Shore launch when they were on a SI and we were going home.

Both dives were the first time on each wreck.  Willie definitely cool...will need further investigation.  I can see why it's so popular.  Norland was decent, but the best part was the fish.  A school of 300+ alewife hung around the entire time.  Too bad no salmon chasing them.  Also saw a decent sized perch.

Viz kinda sucked, about 20 feet (30 tops) each dive.  I couldn't even see the boat during the stops.  Surface temp 57.  Bottom temp was somewhere between 40 (buddy's thermometer) and 52 (my computer).
