Still Hot Fishing


Fished with Daryl and Norm. Temperature this morning was 70 degrees and when we quit fishing it was in the upper 80s, another hot July day. The wind was out of the west southwest 10 to 15 knots and the lake was pretty calm. Started fishing about 3 miles the other side of the Toledo Light House in 18 feet of water. Marked very few fish and we did not start catching any until we hit 15 to 16 feet of water (41 42 600 / 083 17 400). We were running wiggle warts 75 feet back on both sides of the boat. Best colors were anything with chrome (blue, red and purple) and the best was chrome and orange. The catching was not fast and furious but enough fish to keep us in this area. Only caught 1 sheephead and about 10 white perch, which made for an enjoyable day on the water. Kept 18 walleye and we lost 5 behind the boat.
