No Waves, No Bugs, Oh No, No Fishing Pole


Fished with Daryl and Mark. Temperature this morning was in the lower 60s and when we quit fishing it was in the upper 70s. The wind was light at less than 7 knots out of the north and there were no waves. The water temp is 76 degrees and on the ride back to port some algae is starting to bloom already. Started fishing just past Sputnik with jet 20s set at 85 feet back and dipsy's set at 120 feet back. Could not catch a fish until we got close to our way points (41 48 300 / 083 07 800). Started to catch a few fish and then we put jet 20s on both sides of the boat and put them back to 90 feet and that sure helped. Best spoon again today was Cat Dog. Caught a lot junk fish again and that kept us very busy. During all the commotion we had a couple of fish on and I was moving the poles around and knocked one of the poles out of the rod holder right into the drink, just a continuation of my bad luck lately. Kept 18 walleye today and the bite seems a little better since the mayfly hatch is winding down.
