A.W.W.T.

Fished with Joe and John Hiltz in the 8th annual A.W.W.T. The temperature was in the upper 60s to the lower 70s. The wind was out of the South/Southwest from 12 to 22 knots. As the day progressed the wind speed picked up. The waves were 1 to 2 feet when we started and were building pretty fast. The water temp is 72 degrees.
It seemed nobody knew where they wanted to fish as everyone went different directions from the harbor. Some boats went to Stoney Point, some went to the Toledo Light House, some stayed by the E- Buoy and we went to the Water Intake. The fishing was tough and the weather conditions made it even worse. As we were talking on the radio every so often a boat would catch a fish. We tried trolling with spoons for the first hour and then we switched over to trolling with crawlers and that seemed to work for us. We started to catch some fish and then the waves got too be to much so we called it quits. We kept 8 walleye for the day. The official results for the A.W.W.T. are as follows.

1st place - Team Bird's Nest - 63 6/8 inches
2nd place - Team Walley Wide Track - 59 2/8 inches
3rd place - Team Lucky Strike - 57 6/8 inches
4th place - Team Scotty Bowman - 17 4/8 inches
5th place - Team StarFish - No Fish
Big fish was caught by Team Bird's Nest - 21 6/8 inches

I want to thank everyone who fished today's event and to let you know the weather man owes us a nice day for next year.
