Slow But Nice Day On The Water


Fished with Captain Daryl and Mark. Temperature this morning was in the lower 70s and when we quit fishing it was in the upper 80s. The wind was out of the west around 10 knots and the waves were about a foot. The surface water temp is 82 degrees. With all the west wind lately the lake is in great shape. We started fishing in the same area that we have been fishing (41 48 800 / 083 19 900) running wiggle warts set at 75 feet back. The catching was slow for us today so we put on dipsy's and spoons set at 80 feet back. Caught a few fish off this setup but not worth putting on both sides of the boat. We marked a lot of fish but we had very few takers, even the junk fishing was very slow. The fish are still in this area but we just had a bad day of fishing. Kept 6 walleye and we only had 2 throw backs(1 and 8 inches and 1 at 14 inches). Mark is holding the big fish of the year, it measured 28 inches and the fish in it's mouth is 17 inches. You won't see a picture like this again, it was very hard to get the small fish out of the mouth of the larger fish.
