Happy Fourth of July Fishing


Fished with Daryl and Joe. Temperature this morning was in the mid 50s and when we quit fishing it was in the lower 80s. This morning the wind was out of the southwest 10 to 15 knots with waves around 2 feet and by 11:00 AM the wind laid down to less than 5 knots with very little waves. When the wind laid down the bugs started to show up, the first time this year for us. The water temp is 75 degrees and the algae bloom is getting larger. Another mayfly hatch occurred last night. Started fishing 2 miles northwest of Sputnik trolling with jet 20s set 70 to 85 feet back and we only caught 1 walleye. After we wasted over a hour fishing here we pulled lines and ran to 41 49 100 / 083 09 400 and set lines with jet 20s set at 90 feet back and dipsy's set at 120 feet back. Started to catch some fish so we just worked this area until the catching stopped. We then trolled towards the turn around buoy (41 50 120 / 083 10 100) and picked up our last 5 fish. Again Cat Dog was very hot and also a new spoon with orange/black and chartreuse was very good. Kept 18 walleye and we caught very few junk fish.
