The Misery Continues

Fished with Daryl. Temperature this morning was in the lower 50s and when we quit fishing it was in the upper 70s. The wind was out of the west about 10 knots in the morning and then it switched to the east for the last couple of hours. The waves were less than a foot and the water temp is 62 degrees. Started fishing where we left off on the last trip with crawlers and 2 oz. weights set at 70 feet back and dipsy's and spoons set at 75 feet back. Caught the first fish right out of the gate off the dipsy. Fished for another hour and we only caught a catfish so we pulled off the crawlers and put out jet 20s set at 60 feet back. Trolled around for another hour without a hit so pulled off everything and went to all crawlers. Did that and we had a fish within 10 minutes. Trolled this way for the rest of the trip and we only caught silver bass and white perch. Another long day of fishing with very little to show for it. When we got back to the harbor we heard a report that they caught some fish last weekend fishing in the same area using jets and spoons. Maybe the catching will start to pick up. We kept 2 walleye today.
