Jim's Maiden Voyage


Fished with Daryl and Jim. Temperature this morning was in the middle 60s and when we quit fishing it was in the middle 80s. There was no wind so there were no waves. The lake was so flat that it felt like we were riding in a new car on a new road. There was a small mayfly hatch last night. Started fishing by the Toledo Water Intake (41 41 800 / 083 17 000) in 20 feet of water trolling wiggle warts 100 feet behind the boards. We marked a few fish but the catching was slow. We tried putting the warts back at 120 feet on one side of the boat and that caught a few fish but not enough fish to have both sides at 120 feet back. Best color wiggle wart was the purple and I only have one left. After picking up a few walleye we tried perch fishing. Hit one spot inside the Toledo Light House and only caught 1 keeper and then we moved to the east side of the Light House, without any luck. We should have stayed walleye fishing. Kept 6 walleye and lost 2 behind the boat and kept 2 perch.
