Found the Fish Too Late

Fished with Daryl and Chico. Temperature this morning was in the lower 60s and when we quit fishing it was in the upper 70s. The water temp is 81 degrees. The west wind the last few days pushed out most of the algae. The wind was out of the west today 10 to 15 knots and after a couple of hours it started to lay down. The waves were about 2 feet. Around 12:30 the wind started blowing up to 25 knots which made the fishing terrible. Started fishing at 41 51 200 / 083 17 000 trolling east with the waves to our back. Picked up 2 walleye right out of the gate and then it went down hill from there. Trolled for about 3 miles without any fish so we pulled lines and made the same troll again but we went a little further to the west to start our troll. Set lines and this time we put jet 40s set at 50 feet back on one side and  wiggle warts set at 90 feet back on the other side. Trolled for 3 miles again with out any walleye. Pulled lines and headed to the northeast corner of the dumping grounds and set the troll to the east again. Started to catch some fish at 41 48 240 / 083 18 450 and then the wind picked up. We were on some active fish but the wind was just too much to troll so we called it quits for the day. Kept 7 walleye and 1 perch.
