Slowest Spring Walleye Fishing Ever

Fished with Captain Daryl. Temperature this morning was in the lower 30s and by the time we quit fishing it was in the upper 50s. The wind was out of the northwest less than 10 knots and the waves were less than a foot. The water temp is 53 degrees. The reports that we heard was that the fishing was very bad and we proved those reports to be true. Started fishing in the dumping grounds where the water was very clean jigging blade baits and hair jigs with shiners. We had no bites so we moved to Turtle Island where the water was dirty. We jigged we for awhile without a hit, so we went to the Michigan/Ohio border and started trolling. We trolled the mud line towards the Toledo Light House without any hits. Pulled lines and headed to the E Buoy where the water is clean and tried jigging there. Again no bites. Made one more move into 14 feet of water in front of Toledo Beach Marina and never had a hit. We marked very few fish for the whole trip. Caught no fish today!
