Brutal Day of Fishing


Fished with Joe and John H. for the afternoon fish. We only had two hours to fish because Toledo Beach Marina closed at 5:00 PM, instead of 8:00 PM like they should. Temperature this afternoon was in the upper 50s for the whole trip. The wind was out of the west 20 to 25 knots and the waves were 2 to 3 feet, not the best of conditions. It rained for the first hour and then the sun came out. We ran two drift bags and could have used another one. We fished by Turtle Island on the mud line (41 45 500 / 083 21 360). We were able to make about 5 passes before we had to call it a day. I started off using the blade baits and Joe and John were using a jig and Minnow. Nothing was working so I switched to a jig and minnow and then we started to catch some fish. We kept 8 walleye and lost only one. We finished off the trip by going to Trappers and having a fresh walleye dinner.
