Nothing But Problems

Fished with Uncle Dan. Temperature this morning was in the middle 50s and when we quit fishing it was in the the middle 70s. The wind was out of the northwest 10 to 15 knots with gusts over 20 knots and the  waves were 1 to 2 feet. The water temp is 70 degrees. We were running jets and spoons set at 70 feet back. The best color spoon was CJ Special, which is mostly purple. The game plan was to fish at 41 51 200 / 083 11 500. So I set up a couple of miles north of these way points and started to troll out to them. Well, the kicker motor has been acting up lately and today it was worse. After wasting an hour getting to our way points without any fish and fighting with the kicker motor we finally arrived and found a lot of weeds. We also found some fish. The kicker motor was so bad that we went with the big motor for the rest of the trip. By this time the wind was picking up and it getting hard to fish so we called it a day. Kept 6 walleye. Bought some fuel today and the price is $4.49 a gallon.
