Fished with Daryl and Dale. Temperature was in the upper 60s with a slight breeze out of the South. The waves were less than a foot and the water temp is 72 degrees in the lake and 75 degrees in the swamp. The weather made for beautiful boat ride on the way out and a nice and laid back boat ride on the way back in.
Started fishing by a pack of boats just North of Sputnik. Trolled around for about a half hour without any fish so we pulled lines and headed to where we fished last week. 41 47 700 / 083 09 000. Set lines and we had a double in the first 5 minutes (lost one of them) and it just went down hill from there. We tried trolling with crawlers, then switched to jet diver's but nothing seemed to work. Picked up three more walleye and a few garbage fish. Made a move into the swamp and tried fishing there for a half hour and all we caught were two 8 inch walleye. Saw the storm coming so we pulled lines and headed to port. Just got to the gas dock and it started to storm. We waited that storm out, put some fuel in the boat ($54.00) and headed to the rack and launch. The wind was starting to blow pretty good and another storm was approaching but we timed everything just right and missed that storm also. The mayfly hatch is going pretty good right now and that could account for some of the slow fishing.
Next planned trip: 6-29-08 With John, Sherrill and both Kevin's.
