Fished with Joe. Temperature this morning was in the lower 50s and by the time we quit fishing it was in the upper 60s. The wind was out of the North/Northeast about 15 knots. The waves were 2 to 4 feet which made for a very long boat ride out. It took 1 hour and 15 minutes to get to Sputnik. On the ride out the antenna mount broke when we hit a large wave so we had no communication. The water temp is 73 degrees.
We started fishing at the Turnaround Buoy drifting with crawlers because it was too rough to troll with spoons. We made 4 or 5 passes and caught a couple of walleye and a few perch so we decided to perch jerk for a while. Picked up 26 perch between 7 1/2 and 9 inches but most of them were around 8 inches. We trolled towards the harbor the last 45 minutes and caught one more walleye. It makes for a tough day of fishing when the conditions are that bad. At least the lake started to lay down for the ride back to port. Kept 3 walleye and 26 perch for the day.
