Could be the Last Trip for Walleye

Fished with Joe, Booth and Uncle Dan could not make it. Temperature this morning was in the lower 70s and when we quit fishing it was in the lower 90s. The wind was out of the southwest 10 to 15 knots for most of the trip with waves less than 2 feet. The water temp is 82 degrees and the majority of the algae has moved out. We started fishing on the edge of the dumping grounds and we caught only silver bass so we made a move to the turn around buoy. We stayed in this area going between the turn around and Sputnik buoys. We trolled with wiggle warts set at 110 feet back on one side of the boat and jet 40s set at 55 feet back on the other side. The jets started to catch some walleye so we put jets on both sides of the boat. I could not find all my jet 40s so we had to mix some jet 30s with some jet 40s. The catching was slow and it was hot but we just picked away at the fish. Kept 9 walleye and we had 2 throw back walleye.
