Nice Day Fishing, Slow Day Catching


Fished with Joe, John had to cancel to do yard work. Temperature this morning was in the upper 40s and when we quit fishing it was in the middle 60s. The wind in the morning was out of the northwest at 5 to 10 knots and then around 11:00 AM it switched to the south at 5 to 10 knots. The waves were less than a foot and the water temp is 56 degrees. Started fishing on the east side of the dumping grounds where the water started to clear up. Trolled here heading northeast with wiggle warts and spoons. Caught nothing but silver bass so we pulled lines and headed to Breast Bay (41 53 900 / 083 13 800). Trolled with spoons and body baits and caught nothing so we put on bottom bouncers and crawlers on one side of the boat. Caught a small mouth bass and then we finally caught a walleye trolling at 1.5 MPH. Switched over to bottom bouncers and crawlers on one side of the boat and bottom bouncers and artificial bait on the other side of the boat because we were short on crawlers. We used 2 oz. bottom bouncers set 75 to 85 feet behind the boards. The crawlers caught most of the fish and we caught one gator using a glub worm. Kept 6 walleye for the day.
