First Trolling Trip of the Year


Fished with Daryl. Temperature was in the lower 50s all day and the wind was out of the North 10 knots. Waves were about a foot and the water temp is 60 degrees. The lake is very clean and that is probably from all the Southwest winds we had the last 2 days. Started fishing on the East side of the dumping grounds drifting with crawlers with out any luck. Made a move over to the S Buoy and drifted with no luck so we headed towards Turtle Island and drifted with crawlers and jigged with minnows, still nothing. Made a move towards the center of the dumping grounds and started trolling with crawlers on one side of the boat and Jr. thunder sticks on the other. Picked up a walleye off the crawler so we switched to all crawlers. Caught 5 more walleye this way but two of them were under size. (14 1/2 inches). Kept 4 walleye and 2 perch for the day.
