Another Tough One

Fished with Uncle Dan. Temperature this morning was in the lower 70s and when we quit fishing it was in the lower 80s. The wind this morning was out of the north 10 to 14 knots with waves around 2 feet. As the day went on the wind died down and started to switch so the lake laid down. The water temp is 72 degrees. The mayfly hatch is starting to wind down but there is still some larvae on the surface of the water. We started fishing at 41 08 250 / 083 07 400. Caught a lot of sheephead and silver bass but no walleye. Started trolling towards Middle sister Island and we still had no fish so we pulled lines and made the run in between the islands. Started trolling again and now we were catching small silver bass, just a pain in the butt. We caught a walleye off the jet 30s set at 85 feet back and that was just by luck. Fished around here for a couple of hours and then we headed towards Stoney Point. Found a lot of weeds and debris floating around so we called it a day. On the way out to our fishing spot this morning the engine quit a couple of times and then it was alright. On the way back to the harbor it started acting up again 6 miles from port. We limped our way back but we did make it. Sounds like a carburetor problem so I picked up a filter on the way home and will install it tomorrow. Kept 1 walleye for a long day of fishing.
