Fished with Daryl, so that means I finally got the boat in the water. Temperature this morning was in the lower 50s and when we quit fishing it was in the lower 60s. The wind was light out of the east with no waves. The water temp is 59 degrees and it was very foggy today. We started the trip off in a light rain and while we were fishing it rained a couple of times very light, but over all it turned out to be a nice day. I went through old fishing reports and over the last 4 years we have been catching fish at 41 49 250 / 083 17 610 this time of year, so that was our starting point. We found a spot where the water was dirty and half way clean so we stayed in this area. We trolled crawler harnesses with 2 oz. weights set at 80 to 100 feet back and with 3 oz. weights set 70 to 80 feet back. We kept the trolling speed under 2 miles an hour. We were marking fish but there was not a lot of marks on the screen. We picked up 3 keeper walleye, lost one behind the boat and had 1 throw back that was 13 inches. Only had a few problems with the boat and they will be fixed by Tuesday. The fishing is very slow yet and this year we have dead walleye floating in the marina and no one knows why they are there.
