Finally, a Nice Day for Fishing

Fished with Uncle Dan and Joe. Temperature this morning was in the lower 60s and when we quit fishing it was in the middle 70s. The wind was variable less than 10 knots with waves less than a foot. The water temp is 71 degrees. The mayfly hatch is happening and that made the catching tough for us. We had to check the lines a lot for mayfly larva building up on the jet divers. We started fishing at 41 45 240 / 083 14 175, which is off of Stoney Point. We ran jet 30s set at 60 feet back and jet 40s set at 50 feet back. As we were setting lines we got the first fish and we thought we were in for a great day. After an hour of fishing with only the one fish we pulled lines and headed to 41 48 170 / 083 09 350. Again, we just got the lines set and we caught a walleye. Well, we trolled around here for a while picking up a fish or two and that was how our day was. We left the pack of boats and started trolling towards port and that is when we caught the steelhead. Kept 8 walleye and 1 steelhead.
