Fished with Daryl and Doug. Temperature this morning was in the lower 40s and by the time we quit fishing it was in the upper 50s. The wind was light out of the Northeast with hardly no waves. The water temp is 46 degrees. Today was the first trip of the year and I had a very rough time trying to start the boat. It just would not turn over. Got it started and away we went, just a beautiful day to be on the lake. Coming out of the harbor we saw some boats by South Otter Creek so we headed there. Did not see any action so we went to Turtle Island just over the Michigan line in 10 feet of water, 41 46 060 / 083 21 790. The water was dirty but that was OK because we were using blade baits and hair jigs with minnows. Marked a lot of fish and on the first pass we caught a couple. We stayed in the same area all morning and would catch at least one walleye on each drift. The only problem was we lost a lot of fish. We went 8 for 18 for the day with all the fish being males. A good way to start the year.
