Still Cannot Find the Fish!!!!

Fished with Doug. Temperature this morning was in the middle 50s and when we quit fishing it was in the lower 70s. The wind was very light so we had no waves. The water temp is 61 degrees. The fishing reports are still bad so we started at the same spot that we fished on the last trip. We ran crawlers with 2 oz. weights set at 90 to 100 back on one side of the boat and 3 oz. weights set at 70 to 75 feet back on the other side of the boat. Started to catch some fish off the 2oz. weights so we put them on both sides of the boat. We caught most of the fish at 41 49 600 / 083 18 400. Our main problem was the white perch, we could not keep them off the lines. We constantly had to check the lines or we would drag white perch around. Doug actually caught 2 white perch off one crawler harness. I think it might be time to go back to fishing with spoons or plugs. We kept 4 walleye, had one throw back walleye (13 inches) and 1 perch about 10 inches. Put some gas in the boat and it is $4.45 a gallon. After we got done fishing we attended the open house at TBM and it turned out very nice, a large crowd, good food and a lot of happy people.
