Fished with Joe and uncle Dan. Temperature this morning was in the middle 60s and when we quit fishing it was in the upper 70s. The wind was out of the northeast less than 10 knots with waves less than a foot. Just a nice day to be on the water. The water temp is 69 degrees. Started fishing where we left off on the last trip with jets set at 60 feet on one side of the boat and 70 feet on the other. Caught one fish right out of the gate and we thought we were in for a great day but it did not turn out that way. We eventually put the jets at 70 feet on both sides of the boat and that did not help so we went to dipsy's on one side set at 110 feet. That produced no hits so we went back to all jets. Today we had a couple of problems. One we lost 5 walleye behind the boat and two the boat traffic was horrendous. I'm not sure why we are losing so many fish this year, the hooks are sharp and we are not horsing the fish in, they just shake there head and there off. Today uncle Dan cut his hand on a walleye and then Joe wanted to make sure he left his mark in the boat too so he cut his finger on a walleye. The hot spoons were Hot Rod and CJ Special. Kept 10 walleye and we had 5 throw backs between 5 and 13 inches, which is always a great sign for the future walleye fishing.
