Maiden Voyage

Fished with Captain Daryl. Temperature this morning was in the upper 30s and by the time we quit fishing it was in the lower 60s. The wind was light out of the north and the lake was pretty flat. The water temp is 48 degrees. Once we got Daryl's boat ready for the season, away we went fishing. There were a lot of boats in front of the marina in 14 feet of water trolling but we were jigging today with blade baits and hair jigs tipped with a shiner. We started fishing in a pack of boats (close to a hundred) in between Turtle Island and Toledo Light House. The water was a little dirty but that is how we like it for jigging. Daryl started with the hair jigs and I used blade baits. He caught the first walleye so I switched over to hair jigs. The catching was slow for us but as we looked around not a whole lot of nets were moving. Daryl caught one more fish and we had a couple more hits, but that was it for us. Kept 2 walleye on a beautiful day for fishing.
